Hi everyone,
Any suggestions on hanging picture frames on the walls of our
2570.
Thanks
Mike

Mike, the best thing I've found is those 3M Command mounts. Since the walls are so thin, none of the regular picture mounting will work, but the Command stuff is great.

I have Command clothing hooks all over the TT, and even hanging too much stuff on them, they have never pulled off or damaged the walls.

The great thing about the Command system is that the adhesive panels are completely removeable and don't leave any sign that they were ever there.

I would recommend you use the the Picture Hanging Strips that firmly fasten the picture frame to the wall rather than a hanger type hook. The movement of the TT during travel can bounce the frame off of a hook while the direct fasteners won't come loose. Where you might use one or two fasteners in your home, I'd recommend at least doubling up on them.

Most craft shops like Michaels or AC Moore carry a full line of the 3M Command products in the picture frame department. They are also available at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. plus Target and so on.

www.commandstrips.com for info on all their stuff and lots of ideas for using them.

We have used the 3M Command Strips to mount framed pictures and prints in our coach. We use the ones for picture mounting ( velcro strips ) . They have held well in travel, heat and cold. Not a single problem. Our largest is 18" x 24' with a full wood frame.

I used the 3M too. Works great.

WOW!! another 2570 owner.... I thought I had a one of a kind camper, never seen anyone mention one in here.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the information on the 3m command hanging strips.
We're off to our local craft stores to do some shopping,
and to see what else we may use them for.
Happy camping,
Mike

Don't forget me! I have (well, until last week) a 1999 2570 that was a fabulous camper. In the six years I owner it I had not one single issue, ever. Great floorplan and towed real nice too. Only reason I sold it was a good deal on an almost-brand-new Sunline 5th wheel.

We miss our 2570!

I use Velcro to hang pictures on the walls.
