In my 180 the bathroom mirror will not stay stuck to wall. There are 3 strips on back like the command strips but not strong enough to hold it going down the road. Anyone else have this problem and if so what type of glue or other source did you use to correct problem. Thanks

Might be easier to take that mirror down and purchase one that has a couple hooks on it so it can hang over the top of the door.  We have done this for 5 years on our 177.  During transport we simply unhang the mirror and place it on the bed.

There are water-resistant Command strips from 3M. That is probably what would be best to use to replace the strips that failed. I don't know how big or heavy the mirror is that came unstuck. I have the Fog Resistant Mirror, also from Command in our 179 bathroom which did not come with a mirror. It has stayed up there for several months so far. It uses the water-resistant strips.

Thanks for advice. I will get new strips and see if they hold. Don't know if the heat inside when not being used or the steam from shower is the problem. The mirror is 16x20 that came in it.

If you go with the strips, be sure to clean the surfaces thoroughly. The Command instructions specify to use isopropyl alcohol and not household cleaners to do so. Isopropyl alcohol won't leave residues that can reduce adhesion.

I couldn't find these moisture resistant Command strips locally, but I did find indoor/outdoor strips from the folks at LocTite. So far, so good. Got it at Wal-Mart in the paint section.

Thanks. Did you take all of the strips off that came on it before putting on the new ones?

Yes, because these are not as thick.

I have a 2016 180 with the separate shower and bathroom in the back (purchased in early June).  I had it out this weekend for its 7th trip.  I arrived at the campground to find my oval mirror over the sink had crashed to the floor and shattered.  This really stinks.  I'm wondering if my warranty will cover this?

I got a round 10" mirror from Amazon, and we used 3M strips to adhere it to the wall directly above the switch board in our 177.  We used several strips, and it never budged in over 5k miles.
