Mounting a LCD TV on the wall

The only sure way to mount things to the thin interior walls is to put up a 3/4 inch flat board first and attach those four corners to the thin wall with MOLLY BOLTS... This spreads out the weight of the object to be mounted and hopefull will not allow the screws (bolts) to be pulled through the thin wall.


Custom fit the back board first..


Once your heavy back board is installed then you can just use regular wood screws to attach your LCD hardware to the wall. Your LCD installation might look something like this


After you install the back board first you can paint it to match your wall decor.

Lots of info on google search about this...

I have hung some pretty heavy items on my trailer walls using this method.

Also alot of the newer trailers already have a more solid wall just made for installing LCD monitor to the wall. They usually have a sticker on the wall that says Mount LCD Here or something to that effect. I would test it first however...

I have not mounted anything to the outside walls other than with 3m velcro or short 3/4" self tapping screws (safe since I know the aluminum framing is 1" thick). I used a stud finder to tap into the framing when using the screws.

Most TV's I've seen mounted have been to an interior wall specifically designed as a TV Mounting place. Usually have a sticker desiginating it as such if a TV was not included with the trailer when bought new. This is because as a general rule, I don't think most of the walls are built to support TV's on a mounting arm without this additional beefing up of the mounting spot.

My suggestion to you is to look for an interior wall that would work for you and either remove the paneling and beef up the horizontal supports to allow something significant as far as mounting screws OR mount a peice of finished plywood or 1"x10" between 2 vertical studs with multiple screws into each vertical stud and then mount the TV bracket to the board.
