What center to center spacing are the wall studs and what size are they. Metal or wood? Also can a trypical wall stud finder be used to locate them? Looking at some light shelving mods. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

They are aluminum and a stud finder will locate. Buy a medium priced finder that locates metal studs. I bought one at Lowe's for less than 30 bucks. I would guess they are about 2X2, might be less. COme to think of it, they are. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

Look for a YouTube video of R-Pod construction and you will see that there are not studs in the walls like in a house. The framework surrounds the perimeter, door, and windows. It does not have studs every X inches. That is what makes it tricky to mount things.
