T.V. Install on wall

For those who installed a T.V. On the wall of your trailer. I am planning to install a 32" TV on the wall of my toy hauler. What is the best way to do this? I do not plan to tow with the tv hanging. My trailer in an 06 fleetwood gearbox toy hauler.
  • Have aluminum frame.I went accross the top of my doorway with 1/2 plywood and went into doorway frames.Have a peerless mount that swings out so I can angle TV towards rear of room.I travel with it attached and pushed back against the wall. Ido however bungee mine tight to the wall,takes 2 seconds,and makes it more travel friendly.It has a "quick" removal so I can mount it outside on another arm also.
  • find the studs and span them with 1/2" plywood, then attach your bracket to the plywood. this spreads the load across two studs. I think Gearbox is aluminum framing though so might not even need to do that, one would be sufficient, especially if you remove it for travel.
  • I did this with mine I just used a mount that designed for quick release and fastened it to a wall stud my TV is only 24 for a 32 your going to have to add reinforcement.
  • Either the wall has to be built with internal supports to handle the weight and leverage or you have to reinforce it.
    Does it have a label or marker that says where to place the TV?
