TV wall mount

just dealt with this yesterday. New Kodiak has a square sticker indicating where the backing is or the screws to mount your tv mount. I bought a swivel model by rockfish that has a tall and narrow mounting surface.....i found that i put the top of two screws into the are shown at the top of the decal, then although the lower screw was below the decal, it took a good bite into the backer as well.....then i simply used a sharp knife to trim off the execs decal that still showed to the sides of the mount. It holds my 19" LED tv/dvd nicely.

I have spoken to Dutchmen several times the past few weeks to try and get a solid answer on the thickness of the outside wall. I have been told by the parts/warranty guys that the sticker isn't the actual size of the mount point. They have indicated that it is either a 10"x10" or 12"x12" block in the wall depending upon the application. Seeing as I have the smallest Aerolite that Dutchmen makes, he guessed mine is the 10"x10" block. They also advised that I not use screws longer than 1" since the wall with fiberglass laminate isn't likely more than 1 1/4 inch. What length screws did you end up using and what is the thickness of your bracket's mount point?
