Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Hi everyone! Been a while since I've been here. Just curious - has anyone ever used one of those Monkey Hooks in their MH wall. I would like to hang a couple of wine racks (5 bottles) and need something that will support the weight. The Gorilla hooks will support 50 lbs and the Hercules hooks will support 150 lbs. Any experience with these would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
I looked at their website and it says it installs into drywall. Does your motorhome have drywall? It said that you don't need to find a stud in order to install it. I would contact the manufacturer about hanging something that heavy. Keep in mind the walls are not as thick as at home and you'll want to make sure that you won't be interfering with any electrical wires. It will be interesting to see if anyone has used this even in their home to hold something that weighs as much as a cupboard to drywall.
my problem with using a monkey hook is the insulation in the wall you are putting it in ......if it is rigid foam board it will not work .....second problem is they are designed for sheetrock and most coach walls are wood laminate so you would have to figure another method of putting it thru the wall.........my other thought is if you plan on driving down the road with this wine hanging on the wall....if so , no it wont work

Just to update - we had to cut off about 3/4" to accommodate the thinner wall & drill small holes in the paneling but with two 50 lb hooks on each 5 bottle rack they are sturdy & secure.
