Hello, I've been very disappointed in some things regarding what seems an adequate question. I have a 17 foot toy hauler made by KZ. It says in the brochure that a tv goes above the mini fridge. Most people I know have a sticker telling them where it mounts. Seems silly but mine does not and though there is a cable hook up/ antenna right above the fridge ( on ceiling) it has a tv antenna outside I'm unclear if I should drill there. I've checked with a magnet and found studs/ frame, but those are on each side of where I would believe the mount would go. Thanks for help.

I would install a 3/4-1 Inch back board instead of just screwing into the thin walls. You can mount the proper HDTV MOUNT to the back board then. You can paint the back board to meet your wall decor...Much like these google images shows...Unless there is a backing behind your thin walls the heavy HDTV mount screws will just pull though the thin walls... I would not want to chance that...Roy Ken

Genious!!! Didn't think about this before. I found the studs so this is what I'll do being that I have no way of telling if KZ installed a backing plate behind it, thanks for the great help!

Royb nailed it!FYI/TV = Tow Vehicle. tv = televisionI got so excited when I saw the title thinking what the heck is this guy doin.

I purchased a 1/4 sheet of 3/8' with a good grain plywood from LowesI stained it and then used screws to attach to the studs in the TTthen I mounted the T.V. looks good and is very sturdy
