Side wall thickness

[Grumpy Grampa]

I have a 2017 Thor Miramar Motor Home 37.1. Does anyone know the exterior wall thickness, in a no slide area?

Thank you

I'm not familiar with your model, but I would probably contact Thor.

I'm sure more than a few of us are interested in you project
What's your diy?

Open a window, open the screen then measure the thickness of the wall.

Here's how I did it as a pro


Pick your favorite tool (6" screwdriver) for drywall.
1/4" drill in a cordless drill for mh walls
be carefull, there's stuff in those walls , elecric wire, metal studs etc.
Insert a cut off metal clothes hanger, measure how far it goes in

My project is to attach a outdoor battery operated Wifi camera. To watch my e-bikes and front door area of coach. I need to install the mount which came with 1-inch mollies.

[Grumpy Grampa]

The mollies are 1-1/4 length, 1/4 wide.

Get the structural diagrams from Thor so you know for sure.

Have you figured out how thick your exterior wall is?
Go ahead and drill your 1/4 pilot hole, you'll be ok

If your lucky enough to hit a stud with a pilot hole, don't use a molly for that mount.
Any hardware store will have 1/4" self tapping screws which will be a much better mount
Stainless steel screws would be preferred but carefully they are brittle

Thanks for the input.

You can easily find a frame member with an ordinary stud finder.

Great. I will give it a try.
