Hi! I wanna share the final result of my LED TV installation. I finally go ahead with the modification of a LCD computer monitor mount to mount it on the countertop surface instead of a true wall-mount. Basically the monitor mount have the same 3-ways adjustments than a true wall-mount bracket, but it's held by the desk surface instead of the wall.
I begin by cutting the large (and VERY thick) "U" shaped clamp bracket... using a handheld grinder with a cutting wheel. After that I drill three holes in the now flat bracket to screw it on the countertop right flush to the wall. The rear two screw are #10 2 inch long screw and they gone through the countertop surface into the solid wood frame structure of the wardrobe. The front screw is a 1-1/2 inch bolt that goes through the countertop surface. Trust me, this is EXTREMELY strong especially for a 8-9 pounds LED TV! The monitor mount come with cable management clips, but the cables are pretty thick so I put some zip-tie too be sure...
I use a premium 3-ways LCD computer monitor desk mount from Monoprice (18$) and the TV is a 19 inch RCA LED TV from Walmart (99$). I also use a Philips media player where I connect one of my 2.5 inch portable 1 TB HDD with 200+ DVD disc image inside.
Only remaining part is to install a small clic strap (like child seat) on the wall to ensure the TV are not moving when travelling.
Here's a few pic, sorry for the actual quality, it's pretty dark inside the RV even with the new LED dome lights!
