Hey another quick newbie question about mounting heavy-ish stuff to the composite walls/ceiling.
1- How is it done? Do you just find some metal backer plate and then bolt through the wall and through the backer plate with some fancy sealant? I watched some of your videos...is there one that shows how you would mount something? Part of me wants to mount some L-Track like the Sprinter vans use...or a shovel mount etc, but I'm not sure how to mod things with the composite without breaking down the wall.
2- What about mounting something small on a wall like a paper towel holder or a 3in ceiling vent? Would I just screw it into the wall with a wood screw? (I'm guessing not...)
Thanks for any advice here.
In talking with Andreas at TC the key is to eliminate point loads. I'm planning to do this for my upcoming build.
1) Something light with small cross section that I may want to remove: a good 3M double-sided tape, like a coat hook or towel rack.
2) Something light not removable, Korapop PU adhesive, maybe with a screw or two to a fix while drying.
3) Something medium to heavy with large cross section, Korapop PU adhesive with spacer to allow for correct amount of glue, use for cabinets.
4) Something medium to heavy with small cross section, should be attached through FRP tubing you design into the wall (see photo), like L-Track for hanging stuff on back wall. If really heavy add steel plates to tap into with bolts and spread weight across multiple tube sections, like for a spare tire.
