tv mounting bracket

Hi
Time to put a tv in the toyhauler garage and have a question. The template on the wall is a small square about 4 by 4 inches. Max tv is 32". All the articulating arms I find for the tv have the mounting bracket spreand out over about 10".

How did some of you deal with this?
Thinking maybe to mount a piece of wood to the area designated for the wall to stud and then use screws to mount the arm to the wood??
Thanks
  • Thanks all. Found full motion bracket arms regular 124 bucks on for 68 at Visions her locally. Bought two as I will change out the one in the main room so we can enjoy the recliners also.
    Salesman was so good I bought a 32" Samsung smart tv for the garage as they were 110 bucks off to! Figured with the savings I owed myself a few cases of beer for hopefully the installation this week and the maiden voyage next!!!

    Thanks all.

    Of course the TV is only a 22" and weighs less than 10 pounds.


    Your latch makes by bungee cord look amateur. ;)

  • I went to Lowes and purchased a 1/4 sheet of 1/2" nice grained plywood
    I stained and mounted this on the area for the TV (after locating the studs. Works and looks good.
  • Looks good. Any idea if the area with the template on the wall had aluminum stud or is there some a block of wood there behind?
    My toyhauler is in storage so not sure.
    thanks again.
