Sticking things to walls
1. I just acquired a magnetic mount backup camera. Bhow best to mount to rear of camper? Steel plate with double sided tape? I do not wish to irreversibly change wall...i.e. no screws etc. Would also like to mount a shelf or similar in side. How best to do with out messing up the wall. Thanks in advance Riobug |

3M outdoor rated double-sided tape is likely your best option. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

| I bolted a three or 4 foot long 2 x 4 to my spare tire rack and mounted the camera on top of that. Easy access to the license plate light for 12 V in my case. Gives a good view of the road. |

Things hanging off the back of a trailer are subjected to all kinds of heavy vibration and abuse. Sounds like a reasonable solution but check it often for any signs of distress. A 2X4 would be a serious projectile should it ever break loose on the highway. ------------- Gpokluda 2017 Rpod 179(sold 2023) 2022 Escape 5.0TA 2022 Ford F150 4X4 3.5EB Honda SCL500 |

If we're going to do projectiles, we should insist they be serious. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

A piece of angle-iron (painted for corrosion control) might be a better option for that use. It will be durable and rigid. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

| It’s solid as a rock. I’d be way more worried about the entire spare tire rack braking off at the welds. |
