Wall hanging tips
Hanging stuff can be tricky, we would like to do the job only once, and would prefer to have it stay up.
There is a force of nature that has to be dealt with, as demonstrated below
Many of you are expert wall hangers, but some are not, here is information for the latter:

Ozz,
The only problem with your setup is I have an aversion to putting holes in the trailer wall. Command strips work for us.

This was a general help article for folks who don't do this for a living like you and I.

I've got many of those, but for the rig, like Jim I pretty much stick with command hooks and they do surprisingly well.

Same here, you can get them at Wally World. They work good on carpet, too.

Ozz has a point, but most of us would be afraid to do some of the things he makes look easy.

I used to have a problem with putting holes in our walls. Then, I discovered the putty that Keystone uses. I have never looked back! We use Command Strips where appropriate and put holes in our walls as needed knowing we can make them invisible if necessary.

I've used toggle bolts successfully but have found those augur type anchors work very, very well. Surprisingly well.
