Can I add this? If so, is there a rule on how long the screws can be? I just would not want the screws to come through the outside of the RV.
Let me answer your question directly - NO.
I have one of these and can tell that it will put a significant prying load on the walls of your trailer that can only be resisted by lag bolts through the walls with backing plates. Sure you don't want to do that. I mount mine on the ladder at the back of the trailer as it was intended for. Trailer walls are not strong enough for anything other than light loads. Add to that the fact that this is not a static structure - it moves and bounces down the road, and puts dynamic loads on the attachment locations. I am sure you can see where I am going with this.
Thank you for that information!! That is what I needed! I will not order it, and just get over being able to use those walls. :)
