Clock

Simple question. I am adding a small wall clock to the trailer. What is the best way to do this to keep it from bouncing off wall while traveling? Thanks for your ideas.
  • We hang ours on a screw in the wall of the slide out with a patch of velcro several inches below the screw. It never falls off the screw and is easy to pull the bottom of the clock away from the wall & lift to replace the battery & adjust for time zone changes.
  • We use a Command Hook in the bedroom and set the clock on the bed wen traveling.

    Useless advice for 99.9999999% of TT owners, because very few TTs have a built in inverter to provide 120 VAC power to the microwave. And those that do have inverters are not likely to leave them on 24/7 just to power up said microwave clock.

    And then a small piece of Command Strip/Velcro on lower porion of clock

    Keyhole carries weight of clock and command strip/velcro keeps it from bouncing/rocking back-forth



    This.

    Or depending on the shape of the clock you can use the command strips on top and bottom or both sides.

    Otherwise, and often, I just ask Alexa.
  • We have had one on each of our last 3 RVs. We used a screw and a small toggle bolt. It never moved even after bouncing down a couple of dirt roads, I-59 in Alabama and I-84 in Pennsylvannia.
