Topic: How do you screw stuff into the walls? Posted: 13 Feb 2017 at 2:47pm |
I used 1x2 strips of wood that I glued to the interior. In some cases, I reinforced the strips with screws into studs (if they were there) for heavier items. In one case, I glued and screwed a 1x2 that runs the vertical length from the bed to the celling on the corner of the bathroom and it holds a larger TV on a swivel mount. We remove the TV from the mount when in transit. I removed the TV and DVD player from beneath the little cabinet...got tired of bumping my head. Will send pictures at some point, trailer is in storage.
Did the same in the kitchen, two inverted "U" shapes with 1x2 to support paper towel holder and a fold up shelf for dishes.

Gorilla glue? Clamps?

it was gorilla glue, but no way to really clamp so I used braces across the trailer.

I don't want to drill any holes. In case I might want to sell the thing down the road. Try the velcro with sticky..get it at LOWES.

Call me crazy but I ain't drilling no holes in my beautiful new walls! If anything I'll use sticky velcro. And no art. Even though I'm an artist. Being a minimalist, I think the interior is a work of art itself.

Don't believe I'll be screwing ANYTHING into my beautiful new walls. Not even art..and I'm an artist. I think the interior itself is a work of art. If anything, I'll use velcro (with sticky on one side). Just my humble opinion, but I like the minimalist look. (Sorry for the redundancy!)

Good luck getting that Velcro off the wall without taking the finish with it. |

Lots of good info given. Makes me feel better about mounting something light to the walls.
Thanks |

Just wanted to add that one can find the hollow wall screws and anchors here: https://www.boltdepot.com/Hollow_wall_anchors_Zinc_plated_steel.aspx I figure I should share this link with others. About me: an owner of a 2018 Rpod 176, Hood River edition. Thank you!
