Suction cups on fiberglass side

I've seen some people on here use suction cups and pvc for a drying rack. That got me thinking.... Sometimes when group camping we tie a tarp between trailers. Would it be possible to damage the fiberglass side if I get a couple suction cups and tie off to them for the weekend? I currently tie off to the awning bars attached to the camper but I never liked that idea. Wondering if it's possible to separate the fiberglass or ruin it by using the suction cups. Thoughts?

    I used suction cups (dent pullers) to support the Gen-turi pipe up the side of our Class A for years without ever any damage. It would be there for a week at a time.

    We got some at Walmart to hold our drying rack and I can't imagine they're strong enough to damage the fiberglass. They actually hold pretty well $2.00.

    Have a pair of suction cups I got from Camco to hold the bungees from my Genturi as I did not want to glue the hook plates to my coach. they work well and so far no issues with the fiberglass.

    The cheapo suction cups available at Harbor Frieght or Princess Auto will FALL OFF before they cause any kind of delamination of the fiberglass.

    Don't worry....be happpy.
