Clock

Simple question. I am adding a small wall clock to the trailer. What is the best way to do this to keep it from bouncing off wall while traveling? Thanks for your ideas.

We hang ours on a screw in the wall of the slide out with a patch of velcro several inches below the screw. I


I did the same thing and the clock stays put.

We stuck a push pin thumb tack in the wall and hung our last year. So far so good.

Ours came with a standard round clock. it goes onto a regular screw and is held in place with Velcro. I also installed an indoor/outdoor thermometer and it is hanging the same way.

This will be my clock when I retire!

Ours is on a command hook and swings when we travel. I also have used a large patch of Velcro for a smaller one.

If it were a big clock but fairly light weight, I would hang it from a nail and secure it with Velcro strips.

Just right for Grandpa, Grandma and the dog.

You need to retire, then you won't know what day it is never what time it is. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yep. We need one of those day clocks.

We have had one on each of our last 3 RVs. We used a screw and a small toggle bolt. It never moved even after bouncing down a couple of dirt roads, I-59 in Alabama and I-84 in Pennsylvannia.


Same here, never fallen yet

I thought a mini LED clock would be a good idea so I ordered one off ebay. Mounted it in a small piece of thin plywood on top of the kitchen upper cabinet. Looks great, acts as a night light and won't ever move! ๐Ÿ™‚ Loses several minutes a month and needs resetting from time to time over the camping season. :M Oh well, I tried (sigh)...

Mounting method may depend on the actual clock, size/weight and location in your TT. Have a photo of front & back?

Hang it while parked, stow it while traveling. We do the same with our wall art.

This ^^^^.
We have had a Atomic clock on the wall of our trailer for the past several years. Mounted it with plastic screw anchors in wall to hang clock on and then small velcro piece on bottom to keep it steady. Has never come loose and easy to remove when replacing batteries once a year. It comes with outside sensor which I mount under my front window awning.

You can see it in the background of this picture taken this winter.

There's lots of advice and information in forums...
sometimes it is correct.
