Bedroom tv mount

You don't want to use screws any longer than 1", or you risk popping through to the other side. Ask your manufacturer if there's a metal backing plate.

On a rig as new as yours, there should be a specific mounting location intended for a wall-mount device. I was told that this was a thin pieces of sheet metal behind the 3/16 wall board on our new Grand Design. I bought a MorRyde TV-025H (I think) and used #10 x 1" self tapping sheet metal screws to attach it to the wall. It pulls out, swivels, tilts, and has a locking mechanism for traveling.

Good idea!! The three inch ones just looked way!!!! To long.

If you are talking swivel mount, RV specific TV mounts have locks on them so TV stays put. Otherwise you will need to come up with some way to restrain the TV while driving (bungee cord?).

Most common is to mount the TV mount to a 2x2 piece of half inch plywood. Mount this to at least two studs using at least 4 large screws. RVs are not like houses, the studs will be 2x2, commonly pine or some other light soft wood.

Use your studfinder to find the studs if there is any. In my case, the wall was one inch thick and the other side was the shower. I found the studs first. Then I designed a piece of decorative one inch thick plywood to fit so it hit the studs with multiple screws. The swing arm was then mounted onto the plywood, I used bolts and the nuts on the inside were countersunk into the plywood. Once I mounted the swing arm onto the plywood, the plywood was then screwed into the studs in the wall. I took the swing arm apart and mounted one side to the tv. All I had to do in the end was hold up the tv and put the pin through the hinge in the swing arm. Also, when I mounted the plywood to the wall, I put a cloth strap behind it long enough to wrap around the tv when the swing arm is back. Velcro hooks at each end of the cloth strap hold the tv firmly in place.

I would drill a small hole in the wall to hit the stud and if you see wood on the drill bit then you know what it is
