Securing pole mount to exterior

Hello. I bought a WeBoost RV65 cell booster. It has a 25 foot telescoping antenna. The mounting brackets are held on with 3M tape. During install I noticed they only touch a small portion of the skin because the skin of my Hideout has ripples molded in to it. Id like to run either some screws or rivets in to the side to keep them in place. I actually pulled one off accidently after I installed them and they had been sitting for three days.... Is there anything in there a screw could go in to or would a rivet help, would either hurt anything?

Can you mount it to the rear corner? In the straight vertical corner trim? I would think that would be stronger and less prone to a screw stripping..unless you could get it in a stud and seal it properly, others on the forum have more experience

First thing I would ask is are you ever going to trade that trailer in? If yes, holes in the siding will raise red flags.

Does the antenna have a base? Maybe setting it on the ground and then strapping it to the rear bumper? Or the A frame in front?
