TL;DR Summary
Looking for an adhesive to use in an auto interior
I don't like to put holes in the cabinet surfaces in my RV. To attach things to the surface of a cabinet I recently used velcro tape,one side on the cabinet surface, the other side on the lightweight thing I want to attach. I like being able to remove the attached thing and replace it as convenient, hence the velcro tape approach.

The adhesive that comes with the velcro tape is not always robust vs heat / humidity, and it can peel away from the surface it is stuck to. Does anyone have recommendations on a heat-resistant glue I can try using on the backside of the velcro tape for heat-tolerant fixation? I'd like to use something that is ultimately removable with sufficient effort on my part to clean it off, so I am trying to stay away from permanent epoxy unless I can't find any alternative.

If I epoxy velcro tape to a cabinet surface, it won't ever really come off that surface, I don't think, but there may not be any good alternative if I don't want it peeling when the inside of my RV becomes an autoclave.

Have you tried to google for "heat resistant velcro"?

I tried the double stick tape they use for carpets in my RV. It's too strong! When I pulled it off, it peeled away the fake wood veneer on the cabinets. You could use it to permanently stick Velcro to the wall, but for permanent mounts you might as well drill holes.
