Mounting tv in storage bay

I like the idea of mounting to the inside of the storage bay doors. When bad weather comes up it is so easy to just swing it back inside the storage bay and close the door on it. You need something like this to able to walk away from the area and still have a TV when you get back...




All we do is use a two port transformer tap at the pedestal and hook the cable TV to it for the inside TVs and then run a 25-foot cable from the second tap under the the trailer to the area under the awning and use that for a small TV sitting on a table their...

Quick easy way to get setup for outside TV...

Was looking at the bay the other day again and just by tapping around, it doesn't appear to be anything solid around it, especially the middle. I think the above idea might be the best solution.

Because this is where the studs are :)... Or door frame, whatever.
Any flimsy wall is mounted to something, attached around the perimeter.

The easy way is to screw two 2x4 to the base of the storage compartment and screw the TV stand on to it.

If the wall is flimsy and not strong, I mount a 3/4 inch piece of plywood cut to the size of the wall and bolt the plywood to the wall with adhesive/ sealant. Then mount the tv mount to that plywood. Doug

I mounted one in the basement of my Big Country. My propane tank storage is right in front of the basement with a 5/8's piece of plywood dividing the two, which made it very easy to mount a swing out mount for the 32".

Other than a log cabin :), any wall has an interior panel with studs behind, and then an exterior panel. "Flimsy wall" that you see, must be an interior panel, often a thin 1/8 plywood. Find the studs and mount on them. In the worst scenario - if there are no studs - glue on a reinforcing plate with a panel adhesive and then drive the anchors in. If you can get behind that wall, than you can reinforce it from behind. But I am sure there are studs at least in the corners.

I believe the OP is talking about the walls in the storage bay (basement). Mine are plastic, no studs or panels.
I would try to fasten the mount to the ceiling (floor of the RV) of the storage bay.
