I live in an RV full time, I would like to add some shelves in my closet. The only support that's there is plywood. Any suggestions?

    If the plywood is thick enough, you should be able to attach shelf supports with screws. Just make use that the screws aren't so long that they puncture the side of your RV.

    You can create a stronger place to use screws by adding a 1/4" to 3/8" strip of wood and adhere it to your plywood with a good quality construction adhesive. Just coat the wooden strip with the adhesive and use screws long enough to go through the strip and into the plywood in your wall. Wait at least 24 hours for the adhesive to set. I have done this when my walls were drywall and have been able to put up VERY sturdy shelving.
