Probably a question already answered. Does anyone have a diagram of wall stud placement for a 3612 2006 raptor? Need hang things in the garage that will need to be screwed into the wall studs.
thanks,

There are no drawings like that available for any of the Keystone products.
Best way is to locate the studs the same way you would in a stick built house. Look for the nails or staples or screws where the paneling is fastened to the studs or try a stud finder. The old "tap and listen for a solid sound" can be pretty useful, too.
I use the "Hollow Door" Wall Anchors. The luan is only about 3/16" or so thick, so the hollow door anchors work great. Go through the luan very slowly and carefully in case there is an electric line hiding. But otherwise, with all I've done, I have had great results! :bdance:

Another but a highly technical method of locating studs on your exterior walls is to take a look at them on a crisp, "cold" morning and if you position yourself in the right place, you will be able to see an outline of the studs. I've been told by a non- scientist that it has something to do with the difference in temperatures between the aluminium studs and the fiberglass siding. This actually works. I've tried it in a non-controlled study.

X2 on Festus2 - great way to find them. You can actually take a picture. make some measurements and then creat your own "blueprints" of the unit. Comes in very handy in the future.
