I have attached some stretch mesh pockets to the inside of our hawk for extra gear storage (less than 2#) and was not able to take advantage of putting the mounting screws into the aluminum studs. As a result the mounting screws are only going into the thin paneling and insulation. I know this is not a strong setup and I have been gentle with use of the mesh pockets myself but an 'untrained' spouse has succeeded in pulling the screws out of the wall when trying to stuff too large of items into the pockets.
Since the hard walls are insulated I know I can't use a typical expanding drywall insert. I was looking at these metal self-tapping inserts, short at 3/4" to keep from piercing the outer wall:

What do people here use with success?
