An alternate suggestion for the OP .........
Instead of mounting the television on an exterior bracket just set it down on a table or other flat surface ... for travel just lay it down on the bed for safe storage. If the particular set you want to use isn't equipped with a base you can easily make one with a couple of pieces of hardwood, just as I did for using the television from our own trailer during the winter in the house. If you don't want to build your own base you can often pick one up at any local RV dealer for free just by asking. The reason - when a television is being replaced under warranty in a customer's trailer the new replacement will be shipped in it's box fully equipped with everything - new remote, brackets, hardware kit, base, etc - but for an existing installation none of those parts are required so the dealer will often just toss them. Ask and you just may get one for free. :)
