Recommendations for mounting various shelves, hangers, etc. to the interior walls and the exterior walls. Screws & length? Know I can use Velcro tape.

Any screw or anchor needs to be 1" or less. Anything more will go through.

Yes, unfortunately. I tried using a "short" moly bolt which turned out to be too long. I have a reminder to not do that again. I plugged the hole with a green cover and sealant. Until our 'Pod is taken to be repaired from last year's accident, I see it every time I go outside and look at that side.

When i added a window to the door on our 179, I saved the piece i cut out. Two thin plastic/fiberglass walls filled with styrofoam . If you are drilling a hole, use VERY gentle pressure, or you might be looking at a drill bit on the outside of the pod.

We've used these anchors with great results on the thin paneling of the inner walls:

Also recommend when drilling from outside or inside, use a drill bit stop or piece of tape around bit to control depth, a stop set is available from Lowe's, less than 8 bucks.

I used the exact anchor for my TV bracket in our bedroom. Easy and worked great.

We've had mixed success with Command products. The problem is that the walls are so slick that the adhesive doesn't hold very long. |
