Hi Folks, We just bought a used 2014 R-pod 178, and I would like to install some wall mounted metal baskets. What kind of hardware do you recommend using? Thank you! Goatmom |

| There is a post on this. Like others I used a 6' by 16" wire shelf from Lowes, mounted over rear queen bed at tops of curtain boxes, with 3 in metal brackets and attached to walls. Used zip ties to mount shelf to brackets. We carry clothes, hats and other stuff on shelf, does not interfere with sleeping. |

| Thanks! We're pretty excited about it. One trip under our belt and planning another as soon as we can get away from the farm... |

No worries about not finding what you need and asking. We answer many questions over and over, and that's ok. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

| Thank you - I'm better at farming than I am with computers... I've never been part of a computer group, but it looks like I couldn't have asked for a nicer group of people to "hook up" with. In retrospect, I didn't ask the question as clearly as I intended. What I meant to ask is if people use wood screws or something more like an anchor to install shelf brackets or wall baskets. |

| I apologize, didn't mean to be short. Merely wanted to you to know there is a shelf post. I used anchors on the side brackets and one bracket at rear of shelf. Need 3 inch to mount over the curtain boxes and leave you enough to tie rap to the shelf. Be careful you don't put brackets where aluminum frame is. Unless you want to mount to frame.:) Shelf comes in handy for hats and basically light weight things. |

No offense taken. I really appreciate the update. I'll tap the wall and hope to miss the frame. |
