Hi,
From all we have found on the forum about mods, I am presuming it is okay to screw into the walls? Could I get some advice about this? Thanks! ------------- Diane and Michael 2016 179 "PIP" (PODDING IN PARADISE) 2007 Toyota Tundra BLOG:Podding in Paradise, birderdiane526.blogspot.com |

Be sure that anything you screw into the walls is less than the thickness of the wall (ask me how I know this). Keeping any fastener to less than an inch would be good.

If you need to use hollow wall anchors, try these:

The wall paneling isn't thick enough for a regular press-in anchor. |
