Mounting a TV in our new RV
We just got a brand new Wildwood 27REI. It did not come with a TV. What type of a wall mount do we need to get? Looking at getting a 46" TV.

- I have 2 of these mounted in our work and play. Should be a piece of plywood behind the wall where you can use lag screws to secure them. Mount
The TV ‘s travel well mounted and are very easy to remove if you have security issues. - Even if you have studs, the mount may not line up with them. Getting a sheet of 1/2 or 3/4 plywood (I use Baltic Birch, because it looks nice) and fixing that to the wall may give you more flexibility, and will definitely let you spread the load over a greater area.
- Thank you all for a quick reply. I think I am going to call Forest River and see if they can tell me before jumping to quick.

x2, if you have them... I do not. Nothing but OEM light fixtures are mounted on my walls. Don't forget about all the bouncing around on the road.
.Make sure you screw the thing into a stud.- What the other respondent said.. ONE SUGGESTION.
No matter what Mount you choose. .Make sure you screw the thing into a stud. - Depends on where you're mounting it. Do you want it to swing out? Do you want it on a fixed mount? Lots to choose from. You might want a mount made for an RV that locks in place while the trailer is in motion. Hopefully your trailer builder installed a piece of plywood behind the wall for the mount.
