Marwayne,
 
Just curious what size of coarse sheet rock screws do you use to mount things on the walls?

Info on what Outbound and I did in the links below.  He used 3/4" molly bolts, I think mine were 1 1/4 but I'm not sure.

Hmmm...when I took the return filter out of my roof AC I definitely saw wood framing for the 14x14 opening.   Looking at the post above by marwayne I'll have to go look again.

Just to add to this fact, on top of the aluminium is wood framing that is where all the wiring for the AC and lights run. As a side note the inside shroud of the AC is held up by a few screws screwed into 1/8" plywood.

Yep, pretty much how we felt when we bought our pod. "It's got good bones. We can work with this. Let's do this thing!" It's fun for us. It's gotto be fun.

We did the same thing with our current home, past boats and even this pile of rocks I just had delivered. Anybody free to give me a hand putting them where she wants them? Cry

What Marwayne said:  "I didn't bye the pod for what it is, but what I can turn it into."  Big smile   His good idea is that the Pod is a work in project. I can buy into that notion. For me, I can patch whatever I mess up. The improvable pod is why didn't scratch up the cash to buy a Lance, which is almost twice the cost of the Pod.  I worked some scary improvements on my 172, and - with considerable less skill than Marwayne or Furpod - I am starting to do it on my 177.  Full speed ahead.]]> Sun, 11 May 2014 16:20:35 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4704&PID=45862#45862 Wall Studs : I stand by what I built and what... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4704&PID=45861#45861 Author: marwayne

Marwayne, do you want to wade into the discussion?  I too was a skeptic and am certainly nervous about drilling holes in the ceiling of my pod, and, given the rough roads that I travel over, I do worry about DIY cabinets shaking loose. ]]> Sun, 11 May 2014 12:56:11 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4704&PID=45859#45859 Wall Studs : My understanding is the roof is... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4704&PID=45854#45854 Author: Budward

My understanding is the roof is wood framed.
Personally I wouldn't attach anything to the ceiling that didn't fasten into a stud, small as they are.  Well maybe if it weighed less than a lb.
Keep in mind something that may hold forever when parked is abused quite a bit in road travel...

Thanks.  So the size Molly that is safe to use?  AND can they be used in the ceiling without fear of a leak.  I am a woodworker but drilling hole in my new RPod makes me nervous….ha,  Steve

Maybe this will help.  Rpod panels at factory  Marwayne tells us that he attaches cabinets etc. into the walls and ceilings with course sheet rock screws ... with impunity.  I believe him.  I am about to secure a cabinet according to his specs the same way.]]> Sat, 10 May 2014 21:45:27 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4704&PID=45852#45852 Wall Studs : I just used molly bolts to secure... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4704&PID=45850#45850 Author: techntrek

Most of us That have made or mounted cabinets have just screwed into the walls or used Mollys or other Devices.  The weights one places in the cabinets are generally not so heavy that screws are pulled out of the plywood walls.

Has anybody mapped out where the studs are in the wall and ceilings.  I want to mount cabinets to the wall over the bed (new 178).  I have seen pictures of other such cabinets that have been made and I want to know how others have safely attached things to the wall and ceiling.  I can see the stud in the shower wall, which will help a lot, but I don't want to search for the ones in the body wall and figure someone knows.]]> Fri, 09 May 2014 22:23:55 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4704&PID=45812#45812
