For the shelf and the towel rack, how did you do the mounting to the wall surface?  Did you know there are studs there to attach to or did you use something special for mounting?

======================

I used the "tap and listen" tecnique to determine whether the wall was hollow or not. Then I drilled holes and insterted small gray screw anchors that I got at Walmart (<1" long). Worked like a charm.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll be busy this "off" weekend working on the electrical cabinet and adding a 12volt like you did.  Additional storage is an ongoing quest.

Hey Ray, to mount things to the walls including the interior/ exterior wall I used the smallest (#46 I think) wall anchor I found out Home Depot. The interior of the walls are foam core, drill carefully as to not drill through, lightly push in anchor, screw into it and the "wings" spread forming a relatively strong an anchor.

BTW, thanks for the suggestion on dinette storage with vetalaton and 12vdc plug, completed mine this weekend.
