Clock

[POLORBR]

Simple question. I am adding a small wall clock to the trailer. What is the best way to do this to keep it from bouncing off wall while traveling? Thanks for your ideas.

I used industrial strength Velcro. It allows me to remove it to adjust the controls on the back as needed.

Clock? I don't need a stinkin clock! Hang it on a hook and take it down when on the road. I"M ON VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before retirement I had one of those that had all the numbers jumbled around at the bottom with the caption “who cares”. Mounted it with a screw and Velcro. Since retired and I re-read the caption. Now it rides in a cabinet.
Sweeeeeeet.

Useless advice for 99.9999999% of TT owners, because very few TTs have a built in inverter to provide 120 VAC power to the microwave. And those that do have inverters are not likely to leave them on 24/7 just to power up said microwave clock.

I just look at my wrist watch or cell phones. I guess that puts me to n the 90.9999999% group.

Screw and sticky back velcro. At least that how the factory did mine on my 2005. Its still there with no problem.

All our RV's have come with just such a clock and are/were held by a single screw and a piece of velcro.

We hang ours on a screw in the wall of the slide out with a patch of velcro several inches below the screw. It never falls off the screw and is easy to pull the bottom of the clock away from the wall & lift to replace the battery & adjust for time zone changes.

We use a Command Hook in the bedroom and set the clock on the bed wen traveling.

Keyhole carries weight of clock and command strip/velcro keeps it from bouncing/rocking back-forth

This.

Or depending on the shape of the clock you can use the command strips on top and bottom or both sides.

When I remember to set it, the microwave is my wall clock.

Otherwise, and often, I just ask Alexa.

We have had one on each of our last 3 RVs. We used a screw and a small toggle bolt. It never moved even after bouncing down a couple of dirt roads, I-59 in Alabama and I-84 in Pennsylvannia.
