We have a 26ft Jayco Flight travel trailer and would like to place a mirror between the bedroom and outside door, but are not sure how to hang it. Is there a particular glue suitable to avoid the mirror from falling while travelling on the road? Thank you for your assistance.

We use command strips for everything. Have never had anything to fall.

I have a mirror mounted on the wall in my commode room (not sure why, it came that way from the factory). They used 4 clips screwed into the wall, presumably into studs, that hold onto the beveled edge at each corner. No problems in 6+ yrs fulltiming.

We have used 3M Command products to hang lots of things in our camper with success. Mirrors, pictures, decorative items. 3M makes a lot of different products.
Good Luck!

Use the clips - glueing will cause the vinyl covering to pull away from the paneling eventually. Vinyl will tear, mirror will land on floor, wall will be impossible to repair, mirror will break!!
See ya' down the road!

There is a glue, specifically made for mirror mounting. Liquid Nails makes one. Your may find mirror adhesive in same store area where they sell the mirrors.
I would also use smome mirror clips , just to be sure. Like this.

My mirror looks like it's held to the wall by those little plastic clamps but in reality, it's glued.

I have used the command strips that were mentioned above to hang a picture above our table. It hasn't fell off yet. I would use a light weight mirror though..
