very good advice - I hung photos & art in my boat (!) and of course used the NO HOLES ways that you described - in some spots, just double faced velcro which worked really, really well - and also kept pictures from swinging when under way from port to port!
Thanks for this video.. I also use white simply tacky putty to secure my collectibles on my camper and Jeep…. It has kept my stuff secure for a long while in super heat, cold, and lots of bumps!
Awesome video. My biggest worry is drilling into the wall and damaging anything to do with electrical . How do we make sure we don't accidentally do that?
Make sure to avoid hanging things above or below wall switches or outlets or near the TV or speakers where low volt wires would be likely to be. A good stud scanner can detect AC power in the walls.
Will this hold up to the pressure of pulling down on woven wood roman shades? I thought maybe I could add a strip of 1/8 ply to boost the wall strength.
I’ve had bad experiences with command strips- when used at home they always take drywall with them when they come off. I’m scared of ruining my camper with them- ugh.
Yup! They work great for both the hollow interior walls, and the insulated exterior walls. You just have to make sure to used properly sized screws so you don't go all the way through the wall!
I always a bet in the last year-and-a-half of how long a command strip will hold something up, I never put anything valuable up there, it never lasts over 30 days in the humidity here. So the Command hooks work pretty good - with a screw through them, lol!
1. Do you recommend these methods for mounting a TV mounting assembly as well? 2. Do these same methods apply to mounting items to the ceiling? 3. What is the framing in a ceiling like? 4. Is there any place one can get a copy of ones RV/trailer's framing design schematic? Thanks so much for your great ideas and hints.
RV manufacturers often install a metal backer plate behind the wall panel where a tv would go. This makes it easy install and strong. The ceiling panels are pretty weak, but you can still use anchors or wood screws to hang really light weight things. You can reach out to your RV manufacturer directly to ask for a framing schematic, but I’ve heard that some companies will not share them because they are proprietary or IP.
I am a newbie, still trying to find out how some RV designers actually were able to design their products, AKA Dometic 300 toilet. Know anything about that one? LOL They should be punished by having to deal with them every day and night..
Sometimes it seems like a cruel joke just to look at the things behind cabinets and doors and such. Looking in the front storage of my TT the first time, I was shocked to see (and feel) really sharp 1/4" screw-points sticking out of the sides and ceiling of the interior. What if kids got in there to play??? 😯🤔
this is a little bit more difficult, but it definitely can be done! You have to find a stud in the wall, and mount directly to it. Sorry, I don't have a tutorial or video on this though.
Great video. A lot of help. But, how about if you want to hang something heavy? I mean, I want to put a hunger for a Barnet for a cross bow which is about 14 pounds.
