TV Install

I would track down somebody at Jayco and give them your year/make/model and ask them what size (length etc) that they suggest for installing your tv on their backing area. They may be able to advise you just how extensive that backing is so you know the limits of where you can mount to. No point having a wood screw going into something expensive when you can get good info from factory.

Bathroom wall could be deeper due to the vent pipe in the wall up to the roof. You could start by drilling a small dia. hole and poking a wire in to gauge the depth. I would drill just enough to get through the luan plywood so you don't somehow drill into the vent pipe (should be okay by the sounds of it tho.). IIRC, our Mor/Ryde mount came with 1/4" screws that were self-tapping and we had a sheet metal backer in the wall. Newer TVs are pretty lightweight.

If i was really worried about it I would put up a 3/4-1INCH back board to mount the HDTV mount too... You can paint the new board to match your room decor...

I got the "behind the wall" plans from Jayco in a PDF... had all of the specs and measurements.

What is behind your wall? In ours it's the bathroom, and that wall is 3" thick. There is a piece of 3/4" plywood as a backer attached to the studs, to make a sturdy mount for the TV.

All told, it gave me about 2 1/2" of space for the screws. So what I did was put a bead of silicone sealer on the back of the mount, and then secured it with 2" deck screws (no pilot holes required).

So far, all is good!
