Any T@B Outback cargo net photos available?

Can any of you out there with the T@B Outback trailers post up some close-up photos of the cargo nets in the valance area of your trailers?   I bought a couple of the nets and would like to see some close-ups of how they are installed in this area before I start drilling/installing any screw holes.  

Thank you!

    Mike, I took these photos of an Outback in Elkhart. It appears there are small clamps that are screwed to the valance at the front and rear, with one clamp screwed to the wooden strip covering the seam in the ceiling.  I cannot tell if there are additional attachment clamps along the length of the netting.  

    I emailed the photos to you in a larger size in case you needed a closer look at the attachments.

    Thank you!

    I did get these cargo nets installed yesterday afternoon and I like them and believe they will come in handy.   The first photo shown would appear that I screwed into the front wood panel below the light switches but those are actually end pieces of the netting.  The screws are installed along the top edge of the wood valance and along the side of the wood that runs up along each side of the valance.  There is one screw and plastic bracket that i did install in the ceiling joint strut and the holes were all pre-drilled for ease of screw installation.  And of course the ceiling screw drilling was done with extreme caution and care.

    Looks good! I bought those too, but have been trying to figure out where the clamps went! Did you put them on the net, bungee cord, or both? Thanks !

    From Elsie at NuCampRV, @ericnliz. They are the cargo nets used in the Outback T@B's.

    I really get a lot of use from the netting on each valance.  Cbarnhill bought matching netting that goes across the back deck.  Looks factory and provides space for light, bulky items.  Hopefully she'll post a photo and the source.

    Ericnliz, you can get these nets in the store. Look at trailer accessories. I have a Max S and liked the idea of having the nets. Not exactly cheap, but made for the T@B.

    Here's a shot of my netting in the back. I carry lots of clothes and towels back there. I also purchased 2-nets for the side valances (like the outback has). I got them online from organizedobie.com. A really nice family run outfit. The back one is the 8"x72" barrier stretch net $26.75 and the side panels are the 4"x20" cubby cover net. Really love my back panel.

    I really like these cargo nets! I'm just having a hard time thinking about drilling a hole in my new T@b. :)

    I felt the same way, but if push comes to shove and you ever wanted to remove the cargo nets the holes could easily be filled in with some natural wood colored Elmer's wood filler and you'd never know they were there.  I used it on the rear galley of my former Silver Shadow when I needed to repair a small indentation from an accidental bump.  As long as you stay away from any oil based wood filler you should be fine.

    I made the mistake of showing the wife the cargo net pictures .... I'll be ordering them on Monday. ;)
    We have seen so many great mods that by the time I'm done it will look like swiss cheese!

    Just received my cargo net.  Thought I'd  try installing with 3M Command clear Mini Hooks as I don't want to drill holes.

    @MrAmazon, does this affect being able to open that back shelf to get to the Alde?

    Mike, where did you get the coat hook above the light switches by the front door?

    Those coat hooks come in several varieties: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y7RWHFS
    I haven't tried one yet. I was a little concerned how they mount compared to screwing directly into a wall.
    I hang some heavy stuff on occasion.

    Nope, the hooks the net attaches to are mounted on the lip of the outer molding.  That back shelf can still be easily lifted out if I ever need to get to the alde glycol tank.

    Mike got the idea for the coat hook from me and I got the idea from @jkjenn!  Great minds think alike!  I like them so much I bought  3 of them, installed 1 next to the light switch like Mike's and one at each end of valences at the rear of the T@B. They are great for hanging coats, Solar Luci lights and UV blocking hats.

    And as Verna said to me last time out, "You can NEVER have enough hooks inside the trailer!"   =)
