Wall fasteners

[brenkco]

I'm planning on wall mounting a few items in our 2026 Paradigm 310RL. Specifically:

1. Towel hooks above the toilet
2, Dyson wall mounted cordless vac, behind the tv, right hand wall above the 110v outlet

What kind of material can I expect, bath is an interior wall, Dyson is an exterior slide wall
Can I hit studs?

Thanks,
Ken

I am rebuilding Shower and I encountered 1x3's with 1/8" Paneling. I use metal drywall anchors on exterior and interior walls. They have the surface area on the threads to really hold in place.

Did you use the self tapping or the expansion type?

Bath wall should have wood studs - you'll have to push your hand along the wall to find them as they won't be regular spacing like in a res. home.

Slide exterior wall will have aluminum "studs" in it but the spacing will be much harder to locate. Alliance MAY provide you the in-wall layout but it seems it's hit or miss. Send an email to service requesting it. I have located ours with a thermal camera particularly in the morning when the temps are changing quicker. The aluminum and surrounding Azdel materials heat up at different rates which makes the studs show up on a thermal cam.

Here is a photo I just took of our dinette slide where you can see the aluminum structure.

Self tapping, But I drive the screw in first. Then I drive in the anchor
