The flat part of the roof is framed in aluminium, the front and rear curves are framed in wood.

Marwayne, do you want to wade into the discussion? I too was a skeptic and am certainly nervous about drilling holes in the ceiling of my pod, and, given the rough roads that I travel over, I do worry about DIY cabinets shaking loose.

My understanding is the roof is wood framed.
Personally I wouldn't attach anything to the ceiling that didn't fasten into a stud, small as they are. Well maybe if it weighed less than a lb. Keep in mind something that may hold forever when parked is abused quite a bit in road travel... |

Thanks. So the size Molly that is safe to use? AND can they be used in the ceiling without fear of a leak. I am a woodworker but drilling hole in my new RPod makes me nervous….ha, Steve

 Maybe this will help. Rpod panels at factory Marwayne tells us that he attaches cabinets etc. into the walls and ceilings with course sheet rock screws ... with impunity. I believe him. I am about to secure a cabinet according to his specs the same way. |

I just used molly bolts to secure to the wall instead of worrying about the studs.

Most of us That have made or mounted cabinets have just screwed into the walls or used Mollys or other Devices. The weights one places in the cabinets are generally not so heavy that screws are pulled out of the plywood walls.

Has anybody mapped out where the studs are in the wall and ceilings. I want to mount cabinets to the wall over the bed (new 178). I have seen pictures of other such cabinets that have been made and I want to know how others have safely attached things to the wall and ceiling. I can see the stud in the shower wall, which will help a lot, but I don't want to search for the ones in the body wall and figure someone knows.
