Step 6Safety Pin Your Ceiling*
Most rental RVs have indoor-outdoor carpeting on the ceiling. Use safety pins carefully to cantilever heavier objects. By using large pins as anchors, looping through the swirls of the carpet, and then using smaller pins that link any fabrics or lighting to the larger anchors, you can hang relatively heavy objects throughout the RV.
Make sure to pin around any air-circulating systems in the ceiling. Ceiling carpet only can hold so much weight, so gauge carefully. LED net-lights provide a lovely animated light through layers of light-weight fabrics.
*Note, in 2010, the carpeted ceiling was gone, replaced by a flat vinyl smooth surface. Not wishing to puncture such material required new techniques with more shower curtain rods. In some cases (such as in the upper bunk above the cab), the rods are not long enough, so the solution is in using shorter, cross-braced rods pushing slightly into each corner of the bunk.
