My 178 (2017) has a plastic-lined wet bath - great.  However, my wife needs a handle to help her get up off the commode.  The wall between the rear queen bed and bath is about 4-1/2" thick, and it's just two layers of luan - no support for a handle.  The framing at the inner corner is not accessible to drill into for the handle.

Has anyone figured out how to affix a handle (or anything else) to that wall that might work for me?

What I finally did was purchase as set of potty rails (fold-up) from Amazon.  It's actually about 1/2" too wide, but it does "fit."  I wound up cutting off about 1 inch from the bottom of the extendable legs to make it more comfortable to use.

When I took my sink out, I saw wood "studs" in the wall between the bath and the bed area so it's not just two layers of luan.  A studfinder found the studs in my Pod.

Teddy,

You should have an access panel on bed side of wall, if you remove, I think you can see those vertical studs.
