What kind of adhesive to use to mount a bathroom mirror?
The mirror in the water closet fell down (luckily did not break) and was originally held up by 2 way strips on back and mirror mounts on the edges. It measures 20" W X 26" L. I guess the glue came loose in the Texas heat in my driveway. I was thinking about using liquid nails and 2x the amount of frame mounts. Any suggestions or experiences as always would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Liquid Nails is your absolute best choice. The entire bottom of my Montana is sealed in with Liquid Nails. I've used Liquid Nails in 100% wet areas (after it dries), extreme heat, and extreme cold. It just doesn't fail. Beware though.... if you ever want to remove the mirror, you'll have to break it, then dig out the Liquid Nails, or just replace the wall the mirror was stuck too. Darn good stuff! That's why it's called Liquid "nails"!
(Plus! Liquid Nails never dries completely "hard." It always stays pliable. So, in an RV, the Liquid Nails will have some give for flexing, whereas your mirror and wall behind may not. Your mirror will do just fine!)

I've also done well with plain old clear silicone

Most of not all stone and Corian, solid surface countertop are put on with silicone. If you put a bead all the way around them they cannot be removed without breaking them or destroying the cabinet. Silicone will stick to almost anything including glass. If you plan on keeping your camper for a really long time get the 75 year silicone. If you use silicone it will never come off and you will never get it off. I just put a countertop on a vanity. I used a small glob under both front sides. I probably could get it off with just two small globs but it will never come off on it’s own.

While liquid nail will work, Loctite PL 530 is made for mirrors.

Make SURE it's mirror adhesive, or it will degrade the coating on the back of the mirror. Don't ask how I know

Glazers will use an adhesive specifically for glass, with or without mirror clips or a j channel at the bottom. The last thing you want is to have what ever adhesive you use attack the mirror backing.
