My method, if you are handy:
Cut small backing plates out of thin wood, and then route the edges.
Stain and polyurethane them to match the wood trim of your trailer.
Drill two holes in each and use countersunk tiny brass screws.
The screws are only to hold the plate to the wall which I glue using a good grade glue, and should not penetrate through the wall more than a tad.
The next day I screw the towel rack, toilet paper holder, etc to the backing plates.
You end up with a custom accessory that matches your trim.
I have done this with various items all over the trailer, and they have stayed put for over twenty thousand miles and six years now
