All good suggestions. But I'll take the bold step and say maybe hide the keys and power tools from DW.
A little independence on how to arrange shelf in cupboards and such is one thing, but drilling holes in the side of my TT for television mounts?
Not going to happen.

The house is hers. The TT is mine.

One other suggestion would be to mount a holder for a small flag using the hole and display your patriotism!

Properly seal hole. Then RTV (or similar) a yellow flat plastic reflector over boo boo. Use a red one for when she puts a hole abaft the beam.

Fiberglass repair kit from any auto parts store or walmart. Apply per instructions,sand it, mask it and spray a little dupli color. Your dealer should have the color so you can get a good match. Then wet sand and spray a bit of clear over it. Did it to the MH when it was new after a mishap with relying on the back up camera to much. You have to look very close to see I did it and I am not even a novice paint tech.

1/2 inch plastic plug they use on cars when they drill for undercoating. Cost pennies and seals tight. Get them at most any auto parts store. As far as an accessory, maybe you could add another outdoor speaker out there? Good luck.

Next time use a Zircon Stud Finder. Saves a lot of grief. RV walls are thin.

Use a stainless steel bolt with silicone thru the hole....long enough so she can continue mounting the TV mount!

Good solution but THINK!
The hole is going to a TV mount! How easy would it be to snake a wire through that hole and get some 110V power right at the source!?
Or a Security camera/scare light might be a good thing to do as well.
Still, like Mr. Havercamp sez, no one will know -- and if it is a security camera, how cool a mod will THAT be??

Think I see a pattern here.....

You can use this event to your advantage. Now your wife owes you a pay back. Use it the next time you screw up.
