There's no real issue about hanging a standard cabinet in an RV.
Maybe not, but you would need to know the best type of fastener to use if you are dealing with laminated walls that don't have typical wood stud construction. I would reccommend that anyone attempting to hang a cabinet, which may get pretty heavy once loaded, check with their RV manufacturer to see what mounting hardware would be the best to use, whether it be toggle bolts, hollow wall anchors, or find available studs (wood or aluminum). If you just attach the cabinet to a wall with a few wood screws, you may end up having the cabinet pulling off from weight and vibrations, or you could possibly have other problems caused by longer screws penetrating the wall structure.
Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
I'd be interested in hearing how the project goes!
Good luck!
There's no "maybe" about it for anyone that's familiar with cabinets and hanging. The OP doesn't need an "RV cabinet", any store-bought cabinet will work.
Knowing what size fastener and the wall construction is part of hanging, attaching the cabinet securely to the wall. The OP doesn't need a call to the mfg. He can ask here when he wishes.
I'd caution that a 12" deep wall cabinet may cause headroom issues. There are purpose-built "Toilet Toppers" that have a shallower depth.
