Shelf in Closet sagging

Hello all.
Last week, i noticed in my closet up front, that the shelf that runs the length of the camper, that has the clothes bar attached under it to hang clots, is sagging on the right side. After some investigation, looks like the weight of the clothes from when my DW over packs, and driving, has loosened it. So I am thinking of just attaching some wood to the wall of the camper, for the shelf to rest on, problem should be solved. Anyone know the construction of that wall? it would be the exterior wall, how thick it is? How far studs are apart, for anchoring purposes. Will a regular household stud finder work?
Any info would be great, Im going to try all this stuff over the weekend.

I did the block onto the wall to support ours similar to as you described. I have shelves below on the sides so made the wood piece (1/2" MDF) sort of a large square and braced it to the shelf below and construction adhesive it to the wall. I did both sides while I was at it

you might want to check your outside on that right side--the cauling line up front, to see if you have a fame issue that is causing the problem. check your caulking and make sure it isn't broken or pulls apart when lifting the trailer or taking off truck.



Many frames that break--frame flexing-- have that symptom.
