I have put many things on our walls. I've used molly screws, anchor screws, velcro, pop rivets and command hooks. If the item is light and won't break if it falls I use command hooks or velcro. slightly heavier items get anchor screws. On several heavy duty items I used the molly screws or pop rivets. None of my mods have come off or fallen (after initial set up - I did have some command hooks that wouldn't work/didn't stick). Match the usage to the type of screw/fastener you use. I love the command hooks but wouldn't trust them with heavier or breakable items. I was scared to drill into our walls but I start each one by drilling a very tiny hole to make sure I'm not drilling where I shouldn't (easy to hide if I need to move my drilling spot) then I drill the hole to size once I know its okay. Drilling into the walls is easy if you take a few precautions. I put up hooks, pictures, shelves, towel bars, etc. all over our tt. It makes it much nicer and cleaner for things to have a place to belong (dog leads on their hooks, instead of the counter, towels and swimsuits hung up, etc.). Good luck - Lisa

These worked great for me in the bathroom's 1/4 inch wall. Mine came from Lowes and were rated for over 100lbs.

If you must drill or use screws - Before drilling, be sure to use a good stud finder. If at all possible, screw into one of the very thin wall "studs", instead of trying to hang something on the 1/16" wall panel.
I have used a couple of screws with the Buildex® E-Z Ancor but I still look for some way to spread the weight further along the wall (adhesive, gorilla glue, etc. along the base of the applied object). Just one mistake, like slipping and using that item to catch yourself will likely create quite a large hole in the wall.

A belated, X2 Aqua. Hollow wall anchors might not work on walls filled with foam. They ain't hollow!

They are great, until the vinyl wall covering pulls loose and tears down the wall. Had it happen and not easy to fix. Especially if you can not obtain paper to match, as they change the design and shade often.

+1 on the Molly anchors. Although, I didn't know that was what they are called.
Did this....
Because I wouldn't have trusted command strips to hang this....

My delimma is:. 12 volt wall mount 24 or 32 " 9.5 and 12 pounds on that quarter sized moly that I've seen on the broken TV mounts that hit the floor. The inside "wall mount reinforcement" just won't do.
Mine are still bubble wrapped under the mattresses while rolling, until I can find a solution without displaying a " Rube Goldberg " CONTRAPTION to keep it on that thin wall.
( Can't watch a 10 " tv these days, spoiled I guess?)
Any ideas?

A twist on that is a hole saw: keep the plug, slide a backing board (already drilled for the moly, go thru the item, then the plug THEN the support: tighten to mushroom behind/inside the wall distributing the surface load .
If you have a sharp hole saw and cut slow and gentle it will practically become invisible and hold up a ~~~~lot!
Kitchen needs, bathroom needs but still haven't done the: under the mattresses TV mount while traveling? The WILDWOOD WALL with. The sticker: mount ,up to 24" TV "HERE" MY STUD Finder , Found only 1 1/2 " of AIR Until the bathroom wall then: "wires"?
Be nice if the just glued a 1/2 or 3/4 ply behind ( but in front to the installer) the wall to. Mount to? [emoji102]

I had the sane problem with Comnand Hooks- they pulled the wallpaper loose on a 6 month old RV.
