Need help on LED TV installation!

[Snomas]

I have a 13# Vizio Led TV to install against a bedroom cabinet. The problem I have is there is no side access to rear of TV, only 2" on top and the bottom have access. Would like to use a 15 degree tilt wall mount, but not sure if I can get behind the TV to attach it, The wall is projected 4" on both sides where the TV installs. Has anyone had this problem?

If I understand your question correctly, you will need to attach a 2x4 board on each side of the cabinet. Then cut a piece of plywood to cover the existing opening and it will screw into your 2x4s. Attach the TV mount to the plywood before attaching to 2x4s. Leave cut outs in the plywood for attaching TV cables. Hold the TV up to the attached plywood, attach cables and then put TV on mount.

Phenomenal prices on all types of wall mount brackets. I've purchased several for home and RV in the past.

We used this one in a TT where movment wasn't required. Rock solid and easy to remove or hang.

How about something like this?...

Or, this one? (I use this one on the TV in my outside bay. Easy to remove and re-install the TV as needed.) One part mounts to the wall, the other mounts to the TV. Then, the TV just slides down into the mount. You would just have to have enough top clearance to lift the TV out of mount.

You might want to look at all the different sorts of mounting brackets available. You might find a different way to mount it that would be easier and more suitable.

Monoprice makes and sells a huge line of mounting brackets that are reasonably priced and good quality. I had a very unique situation with a folding TV shelf in our old trailer. I was able to find a very flexible, removable mount that solved my issue. Look at them with an open mind and see what comes up.

I'd use something like this and then use longer screws and spacers at the top mounting ears (if you cannot bend them) to get your 15 degrees of tilt.

For something like this I would post several pictures all around where you are wanting to install it and even hold it in place where you'd like it and have somebody snap a photo. Situations like this for us guys who are visual problem solvers need pictures! 🙂
