Hi,

From all we have found on the forum about mods, I am presuming it is okay to screw into the walls? Could I get some advice about this?
Thanks!

Be sure that anything you screw into the walls is less than the thickness of the wall (ask me how I know this). Keeping any fastener to less than an inch would be good.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.

If you need to use hollow wall anchors, try these:

They worked really well when my wife installed shelves in the pantry of our 179. The wall paneling isn't thick enough for a regular press-in anchor.
