Command hooks are the old standby, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. I used this clear type to hang a photo in my bedroom and a sponge caddy planter on the wall of my shower. (However, when I used this kind to hang a hummingbird feeder on the outside of a window, it fell down on a hot summer day). by Ashley Mann by Ashley Mann via instagram.com/ourrvadventure For heavier objects, you might try this style of heavy duty adhesive hook I used to hang my bird feeders in the picture below. Note: They are not as easy to remove and reuse as the advertisement would have you believe; when I removed some from the exterior of my RV, I had to use pliers to get them off, which ended up ripping the plastic. There was no damage to the RV after removal, but removing them might damage wallpaper or a painted wall. by Ashley Mann Hook-and-loop Command strips like these are popular because they are designed to be easily removable. via Amazon.com One of the most popular no-drill options is Velcro. Industrial-strength Velcro can be used for hanging heavier objects. via Amazon.com Not yet available, this Kickstarter project is scheduled to be ready in July of 2017. via kickstarter.com Museum putty can be used to stick lightweight decorative items to a wall (or to a shelf!), as well as to secure the corners of pictures so they don’t slide around on their hooks while your RV is in motion. Which brand works best? If you find out, let us know! by Stacy via notjustahousewife.net Foam mounting tape like this is very strong but can also be very difficult to remove (whether that’s a good or bad thing is up to you to decide!) via Amazon.com Acrylic double-sided mounting tape is very strong, yet I easily removed it from a painted wall of my RV without damage to the wall. My personal favorite – in fact I like it so much I wrote a whole blog post about all the ways I’ve used acrylic tape in my RV! Push pins are technically no-drill, although they do require making a tiny hole. T-shaped push pins might be less noticeable for some uses. via Amazon.com via Amazon.com These also require a very small hole but may be your best bet for reliably hanging heavy objects with minimal damage to the wall. via Amazon.com For more no-drill ideas, be sure to check out my related article about adhesive storage and organizational products!

I love command hooks, they are my go to and I used them exclusively to hang my decor in the RV. I am always leary of putting wholes in the RV wall, don’t need any leaks!
I like to avoid making large holes in my walls! Because I like to move things around and don’t want to patch holes all the time! Thanks for the great tips!
Glad you found them helpful!
I’ve never heard of museum putty! I will have to give it a try. Great tips!

Command hooks ripped my RV wall paper when removed. I use velcro now. Heavy weight velcro for the heavier things. Works great in my fulltime RV:)
These are all great ideas for hard surfaces. But my Casita has carpeted walls throughout. I’ve been pondering how best to secure wall hangings to a fuzzy surface like this. Any ideas?
Hmm…is it a type of fuzzy that Velcro would stick to? Otherwise I would probably go with #7 or #8 on the list because a very small hole doesn’t seem like it would show in a fuzzy/fabric wall.
