Basement TV Mount

You could remove the luan board divider. Cut a piece of plywood as a backer board and put the screws through the board and then screw the mount to the backer.

I am concerned about drilling through the aluminum stud. I wonder about the structural integrity of the stud as time passes when the weight of the TV and road vibration are applied to the stud.

I mounted a 32" TV inside my basement storage. If you look into the storage I mounted it on a full motion mount on the wall to the right. (the wall right behind my propane tanks) This was a thick plywood wall. I used lag bolts and it worked great. No issues.

Are you saying you don't trust the Aluminum Stud to support it? Afraid the screws will pull out?

Well you're gonna have to drill through something to mount a 32" TV....
