Okay, pictures are in order so here is one. I would have done the other side, but got an error message about exceeding my picture allotment. Since I don't want my old posts to have broken picture links, I am just uploading this one. There is an equivalent on the other side, notched to allow it to sit flat on the wardrobe cabinet and not interfere with the radio/DVD player.

We have had good luck with Command hooks as well for lighter things. We do have a few items mounted using screws. We use the 1" particle board screws from Lowes with a dab of wood glue on the threads. Don't pre-drill and hand screw them only and you should be good to go.

Ditto on the spring loaded shower curtain rods for drying towels and clothes. Not sure it matters, but we take them down while traveling. Hate to stop and see big, gaping holes in the wall from the rods.

That’s a great idea. Thank you! I also have a big pick up the command hooks too. I came across some adhesive metal strips that I could attach magnets to things and then to that. ]]> Wed, 03 Aug 2022 21:54:44 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15412&PID=149207#149207 Is it safe to mount things to walls? : Rather than have a clothes line... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15412&PID=149206#149206 Author: StephenH

Rather than have a clothes line that is under tension, consider a spring-loaded shower rod that is under compression. Also, make a couple of wooden brackets drilled out to put over the ends. Attach one on either side of the RPod and put the rod in. That will make a much sturdier way to hang a divider curtain.]]> Wed, 03 Aug 2022 20:15:07 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15412&PID=149206#149206 Is it safe to mount things to walls? : for light things, we have found... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15412&PID=149204#149204 Author: Pod People

for light things, we have found that Command hooks work well.  There is a large variety of different sizes and styles. They are available at all of the big box stores.
We use them in the shower to hang towels, on the walls for hats, headlights and other light articles.
Read the directions and prepare the wall accordingly to make them adhere the best.
Travel safe and often

Okay great to know! I didn’t realize it was a paper material. But I guess that would make sense. I definitely wasn’t considering anything heavy. The first thing I was thinking about doing was some sort of retractable clothes line for the front sleeping area and use as a method to hang a curtain to separate the area. The corners definitely make sense.

+1  Also be careful when using velcro.  Many years ago we added velcro to the walls where the backs of the seat cushions lay to keep them upright and not fall down during travel.  Found out that IF the interior temp is very hot and if you aren't careful when pulling off the item the cheap paper will pull off with the velcro.

Short is the word. Adhesive will work for lightweight things. Make sure the screws are less than an inch long. The problem is if you want to attach something heavy. The interior wall is very thin and won't provide much grip strength. If it is heavy, I would recommend not mounting it. A lot depends on where you want to mount it. If it is in an area where there is something backing up the wall, such as on an inside wall at a corner where there is framing, that has more strength thanb the middle of the panel where there is only air behind it.]]> Wed, 03 Aug 2022 07:19:37 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15412&PID=149199#149199 Is it safe to mount things to walls? : New owner of a 2022 Rpod 190,... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15412&PID=149198#149198 Author: npalumbo89

New owner of a 2022 Rpod 190, Im wondering is it safe to use small screws to attach things to the interior walls? Not sure if adhesive will do the trick on some things.

Thanks in advance
