We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Rockwood Mini Lite, exterior walls are likely 1" foam behind 1/8" or maybe even 1/16" luan. Interior walls will be about 1" empty space behind luan.
Through luan into the foam, I've had moderate success with light loads using plastic expansion screw anchors. You have to use a short (3/4" or less) screw and shorten the anchor to match. I drill only through the luan, drive the anchor into the foam. You do not want to drill far, won't take but a couple seconds to make it through to the outside of the RV.
Manufacturers embed anchor plates, heavier plywood or metal, into these laminated walls where ever they want to mount something. What you want to mount, you are on your own.
Hollow walls, if it is too heavy for a stick-on (i.e. will pull off the wall paper) it is probably too heavy for an anchor. Without the foam to dig into, the anchor doesn't help much, and 1/8" of luan won't hold much by itself.
Like some of the other posters, I like Command Strip, but they will be limited to the strength of what they are fastened to, and in a RV the weak point might be the wallpaper or fake wood plastic covering.

I've had good success with Command Hooks in my camper and in the house. I've had the same Command Hooks up for years in my previous camper.
Now, I did have one Command Hook in my home bathroom wall, and after a year, the clock it was holding fell. The glue was still holding, but the paint gave way. So the paint was still stuck to the tape and I now had a white spot on my wall. I ended up a nail.
The other option is to use a hook - one of those Command style hooks, and put a drop of Liquid Nails behind it. But, it will never come off the wall then, unless you rip off the finish.
