Thought I'd give an update on our decision to try Idustrial Velcro rather than screws or toggle bolts for many of the Mods on our 14B. So far we have installed paper towel, paper plate, and coffee filter dispensers, a hook on the bathroom wall , and 2 towel racks using the Industrial Velcro. We used a liberal amount of the stuff and waited 48 hours before testing it's strength . Success!  It secured all of the items very tightly against the application surfaces and it looks very sanitary as well. The true test will be this summer when the temp in the 14RB get up there. The glue used is the big difference in the two types of velcro. Outside of being a much stronger adhesive, the adhesive used in th I.V. is not affected as much by extreme temps.

I also hate to screw things into the walls, mostly because I'm not sure how thick they really are and if it would be strong enough.  I'm also using the 3M hook/loop stuff.  So far I only used it on the TP holder and it fell after a few days.  So I Crazy Glued the part that sticks to the TP holder (which still had bits of the initial sticky stuff that didn't even last 24 hours) and I assume that's why it didn't stick.  That was yesterday.  I'll keep you posted on how long it holds up
