I just use regular coarse thread drywall screws.

Marwayne, Just curious what size of coarse sheet rock screws do you use to mount things on the walls? Cody91

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. |

Looks like a body-building program to me.

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? |

What Marwayne said: "I didn't bye the pod for what it is, but what I can turn it into." 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.

I stand by what I built and what I said, however if you don't want to drill holes in your walls and ceiling and don't feel comfortable doing it, don't do it. I wouldn't want anyone to do what I did and have unsatisfactory results. I think it's best to only undertake projects that you are confident in doing. Like I said in a previous post I didn't buy the pod for what it is, but what I can turn it into.
