I screwed various hooks into my motorhome’s walls in order to hold things such as keys, a small flashlight, a calendar, sunglasses, fuel discount cards, etc., but the hooks would work themselves loose in no time. I found that the thin plywood wall panels do not have enough material to hold the threads well. My fix was to attach a 3/4-inch-thick piece of wood in the appropriate location using glue and recessed wood screws. Wood plugs cover the screw heads and give it a factory-like look. Using the original wood species adds a touch of class.
