"The Shelf"

Look through my mods to see my solution (link in signature). At first, the shelf mostly rested on the valences. I changed out for anchors. If you use them, they need to be an inch or less in length. Any longer and you risk putting a hole in the side of your R-Pod (ask me how I know ). Between anchors and the valences, your shelf should be very stable if you don't overload it with heavy items. My CPAP machine and some clothing go on ours.

No, they are only held in by a few screws with no anchors. I removed the valances on my 179 to allow me to mount the shelf that I built closer to the windows. I use these anchors to secure my shelf. https://www.amazon.com/Hard-Find-Fastener-014973264895-16-Piece/dp/B00L1IT0M4 Thanks for the info.  I really don't want to modify the trailer.  I am not sold on the 179 floor plan.  I purchased it used to see if I enjoyed camping.  Found I do enjoy it but I think I would rather have a 189 in the future and do not want to deter from the resale price.  Thanks again.

Thanks much for the suggestions.  I've got exactly the same shelving.  I think I'll do one going port and starboard on the front end over the table and the back over the bed.  But I was perplexed about how to keep it from tearing a hole in the wallboard.
