    Mounting tag

    Got my tag today for our new Imagine 22 rbe. I was surprised to see the dealer tag mounted to tag bracket with cable ties. I wanted to use bolts with lock washer and nut, but there is not enough room on backside of bracket to do so( back of tag bracket touches trailer wall) so I had to mount the new tag with cable ties.
    Also the tag mount bracket is plastic, kind of cheap design I think. Will have to Remember to replace the
    cable ties, probably at tag time each year. No big deal just expected better from GD.
    Yes license plates

    Are you referring to plates, like license plates?

    My dealer mounted oor temp tag with sheet metal screws. Almost out them through the siding.

    There may be hardware in your owners manual bag. If not, go to the hardware store and get a couple of T-nuts and the corresponding bolt. I got mine at my local Ace Hardware.

    That plastic tag holder has recessed slots on the rear side. The intention is for you to put the properly sized bolts through the holes with threads sticking out, not in. Then when you thread your nut on the bolts won't turn.

    Yep, should have used bolts, with the heads towards the trailer.

    Not hard to get them in there, just have to do it strategically.

    After buying two different sets from Amazon, I found our mounting hardware in the bag from Grand Design. I found the little plastic bag after I took everything out of the bag.
