plywood

[jcarrdive]

HI,
we have a 2011 R27 (Bobolink), I was wondering what thickness of wood the head wall is made out of, so I can get the proper through bolts for coat/towel hangers (I want bolts and acorn nuts instead of screws).

Thanks Jeff

I believe it is 3/4". I prefer not to drill any holes where things get wet. If you use a marine grade silicone on a piece of wood and stick it on the wall, you can screw into the wood w/o putting a hole in the plywood wall. To make it stronger, drill a bunch of holes about 1/4" deep on the glue side of the wood. That gives the silicone a place to go. If the silicone doesn't work, scrap it off and try 3M 4200. Don't use 3M5200 unless you never want to remove it.
