You could attach some 1x2 furring strips using a self taping machine screw. Then attach your cabinets to that.

I did that on the walls and ceiling, then added 3/4 foil two sides foam board to give it more insulation. It works for us.

Oh, the AC unit is not mounted backwards. It is just sitting on the roof. Too heavy for me to remove by myself. LOL. Any reason I cant mount shower and toilet over boggie axle? I'm just worried if I blow a tire will it destroy my plumbing.

We have the toilet drop over our axle on drivers side. It would be a crappy experience if one of our duals blew. :lol:

I'm sure you could cover it with a steel box, it might help!

On your PB account, you can hover your mouse over the picture and copy the IMG code and paste it into your thread. This would be the result.

Our plumbing both goes into the forward wheel well and has a 1/4" plate to be a scatter shield. the sides are open but the shield has it covered. The stool drops on an angle into the tank and the shower goes into a straight pipe that goes into the wet bay and the trap is in there. This allows the heat from our thermostatically controlled light heater set up to keep it from freezing.
