The wall is thick enough so the screw won't go through to the other side. Then isn't the plumbing typically routed underneath the trailer to the tanks and electrical up through the ceiling? I called Keystone for blueprints or schematics and gave them my story but they said they don't have anything that will show me what's between the walls (I find that hard to believe). Anyway again... check out the picture. I'm going to screw it in about 2 feet off the ground on that wall between the sink and bathroom on the bathroom side.

Well... The walls appeared to be hallow through my xray vision so I tested my luck this weekend. I found an inexpensive TP holder like this

I used the template that came with it to mark the points for the screws, held the metal ends to the wall and screwed straight in. I used the 1/2 inch screws that came with it, I didn't drill any pilot holes and just went for it. Now I know what some of you may be thinking
but the wall was flexible within a half inch or so when I pushed on it so with that I figured there's no possible way anything "puncturable" was behind it. I was right... each end screwed in nice and snug. Not sure what kind of screws typically come with these types of things but the threads were deep and I didn't over tighten them so I believe this will hold for a very long time, forever probably.
