Fixing wall units to caravan wall?????
I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have recently bought a static caravan to live in whilst my new home is
being built.
The interior walls are very thin to say the least.
So how would I go about attaching objects to them?
I have a clock and a few pictures and a small bookcase.
That I want to put up so what's the secret?

Picture plates. As here - or make your own (just an oval or square of thin
steel)

Clock (a normal small one) and pictures are easy, there is no weight to
them. Just buy some of those brass picture hooks with a pin which goes
into the wall at an angle. They are really intended for a plastered
wall, but with care and a tiny pre-drilled hole should work. They will
be even stronger if you fix them into a wooden frame batten.
The bookcase will probably be far too heavy for wall mounting, unless
you can find a suitable reinforced point.

Get some plasterboards or cavity board fixings, these just screw but have a
centre screw hole, then just screw
whatever in, easy m8.
