Storage Cabinte

Maybe you can find the studs from the outside,when you get the morning dew. The studs will show up with the moisture on the trailer. Good luck.

We haven't been able to find any studs in the wall where we want to hang the cabinet. Thanks. Glad that you were able to relocate what you needed. We are thinking about using molly bolts.

I relocated my flip down couch to the rear of the trailer. I could get one bracket to line up with a wall stud but not the other. So, I bought a 1x6 from HomeDepot. Sanded and Routered the edges then painted it an off white to match the walls. Used a stud finder and drilled pilot holes in the wood at every stud (Three total). Then I attached the couch brackets to the wood(counter sunk the bolts to the back of the wood) and then the wood to the walls. Attached couch to fold down bracket. Problem solved.

I did the same process to hang a 30" TV bracket on the inside of the trailer.

Thanks for the ideas.

Or a couple of 1x2 "legs" down to the floor to carry the weight, then attached to the studs for stability.

Use a stud finder to find the frame and mount it to that.

That is what we are trying to find out, sounds solid just don't know what is behind it and what would be the best way. Thanks

Depends on how heavy and what you are drilling into. In my Fuzion's garage, there is a place pre built for a TV, I have thought about putting a shelf up there. It has strong enough backing to screw into.
