CAUTION: BE CAREFUL TO JUST DRILL INTO THE OUTER SECTION OF THE WALL! Drill the 13mm deep pilot holes with diameter 2mm. Drill the large horizontal holes with diameter 10mm.
TIP: We recommend applying masking tape to the drill bits to prevent drilling too deep.
Prepare mounting area by lightly sanding the fiberglass between the drilled holes, as shown. Clean the surface of the wall.
Apply a thin coat onto the inside area of the backing plate. Spread with plastic knife to cover evenly.
Insert backing plate into the holes. If necessary, light tap the backing plate with a rubber mallet to ensure that the plate is flush against the RV wall. Wipe off any excess adhesive with a paper towel.
Reinforce plate with the two small screws.
