I would like to add a TV Mount to the inside wall of the bedroom slideout and the outside under the awning of our TT. I would like to leave it mounted in the bedroom during towing. The TV is less than 15 LBS. Has anyone safely done this? I was thinking of using pop rivits to attach the brackets. This particular mount is perfect (2 bases, 1 arm) Is this foolish or if done correctly will it last forever?Thank you,David2015 Cruiser Radiance 28RLSS

There are thousands of trailers out there with TVs mounted ready to travel and have done so safely for tens of thousands of miles. The important part is to make sure that your TV mount is fastened to a wall that was meant to mount a TV. They usually have a sticker on the wall that says "TV mount location" or something similar. If you don't have an obvious mounting location, talk to your dealer to see if there is one, most bedrooms do.

I use one of those articulating arm mounts. I mounted the bracket to a plywood backer board and mounted the backer through the paneling, into the studs. Since I have a 32" screen, I was able to span three studs and the backer board is behind the screen.

I would find out from your RV dealer where exactly to mount the articulating arm. Also, I'd go for a arm that locked into place.

Lots of people use the idea Westend mentions. You can also use a stud finde to fint the stud and mount the bracket. I used small lag screws. I also have a 23" flatscreen that travels well while mounted. Whatever you do, don't mount anything using pop rivets.

Hence the reason for my post.
