Any issues with drilling holes in walls and hitting electrical wires?
Thanks

Interior or exterior? If there's no outlet, switch, t'stat or other device in either side of and interior wall then chances are slim. On interior walls I'd check the roof area above the wall for a tank vent as they typically run thru interior walls. Exterior side walls are very unlikely to have wires run in them. Front and rear walls are likely to have wiring in them from my experience.

To add to Marshall's comments, slide walls (in slides with electrical connections for both 12 VDC lights and 120VAC outlets typically have those wires "run through the aluminum framework. Usually you can see if this is the case with your slide by looking for where the wiring "enters the slide floor under the trailer". If it enters at the extreme edge of the slide, the wiring is either "in the wall styrofoam lamination" or it's "inside the aluminum square tubing that forms the slide framework".... Which will it be ????? Only the guy building the slide knows for sure

Then I do this I only drill the depth of the wall and use short screws to minimize the slightest possibility of hitting something.
