hanging a picture

[mydrummerrocks]

we just bought our first motorhome, its a class a winnebago, i want to hang a picture on the wall and am not sure if i should use a regular nail or if there is something special i should use.

you guys are awesome, love the 3m command idea too. no holes, easy for resale down the road.

Where I live 110 degrees is common...106 yesterday for example.

When the RV is not in use it can get extremely hot inside and anything that uses glue to hold it to the wall always falls off.

Also moving down the road can put a lot of stress on the hanging device.

So be careful.....

We just hung a picture yesterday using the Command velcro hooks. They come off of the wall cleanly when you no longer want them there and by using velcro instead of wire, you don't have a hole in the wall or the picture rubbing back and forth. Use their coat hooks also.

You do not want to make any holes on the walls of a coach. What the wife uses is some stuff that looks like a putty and as long as the temperature is cool they will hang in real good, but if you leave the coach in storage and the temperature gets hot, the putty will soften and the picture will not stick to the wall. But it has worked for us.

3M Command Picture and Frame Hangers,they will hold up anything and they come off cleanly.

I just moved some things and had to remove the hangers and they came off just like the they said they would,cleanly and did not leave a mark.

Just follow the instructions.

The hooks are great too.I use them to hang heavy coats.

There are several types of removable strips that will not hurt your walls when and if you need to take them down. Walmart/Target or any store like that will have them near the picture frames. We've used them at home and on the camper with good results.

x2 3 M Command strips are great!

Check out the 3M Command products. We love them, no holes and can be easily removed.

wow, thanks for the quick response, i'll try it. been using museum putty for my candles and stuff on counters been stuck on walls though.

I have used a residential picture hanger with the little hook and then used double sided tape on the bottom of the picture to prevent it sifting and moving.
Have had a 2X2 in our bathroom with this method for 3 years now and it is still secure.

Its not special but when we put things on the wall we use the proper comman strip for the project.
