Hi - I have a Sundowner 8008 with a factory made LQ.  I'd like to hang a clock, magazine rack, and a framed picture on the wall between by bathroom and living room/kitchen.   I tried velcro, but it wasn't strong enough and my picture fell and broke! 

What's the best method to fix these heavy items to the wall?   Can I use a nail?  If I do, is there a stud in the wall to anchor it on?  Will a regular, household stud finder work to locate it?

Are there any glue products strong enough to do the job?

Thanks for your help

We had a sundowner and I was afraid to put any screws into the wall!  Sold that trailer and purchased a used Jamco and she hung at least 7 decorative items on the walls--just bought trailer yesterday.  It looks like they are screws and they can't all be on studs(if studs exist in a trailer). I appreciate the decorations but I would have never done it--don't want any holes in the walls!

all mine are hung with a large hook similar to a saw tooth but more beefy and then velcro on the bottom to keep it level and from bouncing off.

Did you use the HD velcro? There is a difference in strength and the sticky is stronger

Yeah, I used the industrial strength velcro.   I don't think it stood the heat very well.
