Mounting stuff to walls
I know the walls are thin. I asked our salesman what to use to mount towel or coat hooks and he just said don't do it. That does not seem practical. What does everyone here recommend?
Also- Can I safely mount the toilet paper holder to the sliding door?2016 Ford F-150

We just use robe hooks and mount them with the included screws. If you check the walls you might find a stud to mount them to, some of ours are just into the wall board so we just make sure to not put a lot on any one hook at a time. As for the toilet paper holder on the sliding door, it you do that the door won’t be able slide any more.

We use command hooks or 3m dual lock tape.
I have everything from 6 hooked towel racks on the wall, with towels, rokus, etc on walls while traveling and not having any issues at all with stuff falling.2019 Momentum 395

As mentioned Command Hooks are a very good option. Another option for heavier objects is rivets.

Something that I just thought to mention is to not mount anything using the 3M (command) to the wood looking trim, it will pull the nice sheet of grain right off. If you want anything there use a small screw,

I have used 1 command hook for a hand towel. I did not do more as I was afraid the command strip may pull the wallpaper skin off the wall. In reading other threads what I understand is the walls are approximately 1/4" thick lauan plywood and posts about screws and wall anchors stated to be watchful for hidden water lines and electrical wires.

Do a search here on COMMAND STRIPS and you will see some mixed results. Some have found that while that while the strip is strong enough to adhere to the wallpaper, the adhesive attaching the wall paper to the wall fails, causing the wallpaper to tear off.

Command products (hooks, bars, etc) are super versatile and super strong. Check them out, Walmart, HD, Lowes, etc.
I can’t tell you how many RV’ers use them. No, I don’t work for the company.
