Wall attachments

[Valerie]

Hi, hope you can help me. I have a new Swift holiday home and have just moved in. To make it more like home, I would like to put some small pictures on the wall and wondered what was the best way and product to do this. I have also got a tallish shoe rack, which for safety reasons, I feel should be attached to the interior wall to stop it falling over. Anyone have a suggestion on that too please..
thanks Val

May be best to ask other residents on the park what they do as the damage may be permanent i.e. holes?

I am slowly meeting people, but as yet all the answers are varied.. Most negative tbf.

Probably the same reasons why people don't have pictures in their caravans. If you use sticky pads, the risk is that when removing the pads, it rips the veneer on the wall. Best to have free standing pictures.

Look at 3M Command strips.

And any ideas on the shoe rack, how to secure that?

Maybe the 3M or small cup hooks with fishing line.

Unfortunately a solution will have to take into account the materials used in the construction of your caravan, and where and what type of material has been used to add stiffness to the caravan walls.

We are hampered to some extent by the fact this forum is mainly used by touring caravan owners, and we don't have much experience with static or holiday home type caravans which may well use different construction techniques. May I suggest you post a question to the caravan manufacturer about using wall piercing fixings.

You might find more focused help with google search of these websites and forums

Look at 3M Command strips.

Won’t they cause similar problems as the sticky pads?
What if the caravan manufacturers recommend?

The advert says, ‘cause no damage’.

I’ve seen that now thank you.
Well it could do the job but not if the paper is unpainted or is vinyl.

We have a static as well as a tourer and have attached things to the walls. Just find an internal 'beam' behind the plywood wall and screw into that. Youll have to be precise, they're only 1" wide on ours.

I’ve used Command stickers and on removal they haven’t caused any problems to the substrates.
