Wall Thickness of the Montana?

[RKassl]

I need to put a couple of wall anchors in to support some brackets in the bedroom. Any idea what the total wall thickness is in a Montana? I just finished installing the last MCD shades in the bedroom (of all places where they din't put them). In our 3450 there is a built in hamper right under the large window. When you lift the top of the hamper it rams right into the brackets that hold down the vertical balance material. Over the last two years of use they have pulled out with the tiny screws from the factory. Any suggestions on some small type of hollow wall anchor to use?

Thanks

My 2013 2750FL had 1/8" paneling, 1.25" styrofoam and a fiber glass skin on out dude walls. Back wall was 1/8" panel and 3" fiberglass insulation and plastic shell

It has been a couple years since I replaced my dryer vent. But the dimensions noted by KOLCB is about I remember mine being.

I use E-Z Ancor for all my drywall hangings now. Seem far superior to the simple expansion ones. They are plastic and self drilling thru drywall. Don't know how well that would work on the Monte walls, at least without a starter hole.

I use E-Z-Ancor-Twist-N-Lock on the S&B as well. Wife does the inside of the 5er and uses the 3M removable hangers so there are no holes.

They require a larger hole , but Toggler anchors are the cats meow for mounting something you want to stay put. I am a master carpenter and use them all the time to hang shelves etc. You will rip the wall apart long before the anchor gives way. I believe the inside dimension of the aluminum studs are around 1 1/2". From exterior finish to interior finish being around 2"
