If you're repairing the shade fixtures "IN THE TRAILER EXTERIOR WALLS" then yes, they are typically 2" thick (from interior luan wallboard to exterior FILON sheeting/aluminum skin)...

ON THE OTHER HAND: Many slides are constructed with 1" frames, so they are actually significantly less than 2" thick..... Many are only 1.25" thick when you measure from the interior luan to the exterior FILON sheeting.

SO USE CAUTION ON JUST HOW LONG THE SCREWS ON THE ANCHORS REALLY ARE. YOU COULD EASILY BE "WELL WITHIN WALL THICKNESS" IN THE MAIN WALL STRUCTURE AND 3/4" IN THE "PORCUPINE REALM" ON THE SLIDE WALLS.......
