I used a hook that screwed in to wood. I tired a 3M hook but found clock on floor in pieces one morning. I think the changes in temperature in TT is to much for the sticky tape.

We've had three trailers that came with clocks. They were attached to the wall only by heavy duty velcro and never once fell off the wall. We used the trailers long enough that batteries were replaced, and the clock was stuck back on the wall. We do some heavy duty traveling -- one clock survived a coast-to-coast trip and never moved!

We have a very similar clock and it hangs very nicely on pressure sensitive velcro hooks all the time we had it hanging near the dining table (right over the axles) but we moved it to the back of the trailer and STILL no problem with the hooks but the clock itself sometimes bounces off of the hook so we now take it down when traveling.

3M items are GREAT!! We've used them for pictures, towels, bathrobes, etc... They are excellant and have never lost anything. If they are not up straight, we take it down and put it up again. They are removable so easily and leave no marks of any kind. No matter the cost, they are worth it! We've found them at Menards, Lowe's, CVS and they're probably in lots of places.

Just be sure to check the clock at night to see if it is noisy. We put on of the el cheapo ones up and it kept us awake all night. Finally threw it in the trash can..

I have my atomic clock hung on a cupboard door with the 3M Command velcro strips. Stays there well and have also used the same strips to hang picture frames in the TT. When I travel, I just take the items down and reattach them when I am set up.

We have a similar round clock from Walmart. Used Velcro in 3 positions 12, 4 and 8 oclock. Has traveled many miles without problem. Easy to takeoff for battery changes.

Well, I've spent about an hour googling the kind of wall mount bracket system that our clock has and can't find it for you. Basically there is a bracket that attaches to the wall and the battery movement on the back of the clock just slides right into it. I even contacted the mfr. of our trailer (Crossroads RV) to see if they could get me info on that system. I guess the next best thing is sticky Velcro.
