Redrocket204,
I agree-the Thule TV mount is a joke.
A well-meaning friend gave me one,still in the box.....it's still in the box,somewhere in the attic @ home.
I ended up with this one for our 22":(picture) (Details) for <$40,shipped.
Where did you get the struts,for the bunkbed mod,please?
Thanx!

Yes on the Thule mount. Highly disappointed with it as it is VERY difficult to remove from the wall attachment especially when the mount is marketed as an easy to disconnect mount. I have to struggle to remove it from the wall and I am not weak...hence the failure for Thule to execute the design properly. Once I get back from my trip I will contact Thule and see what they will do about it. I have purchased many high quality items from Thule before and am completely shocked at this major of a failure from Thule.
As far as the struts...these are the same struts that are used for the back windows of pickup truck canopies, car hoods, etc. I picked mine up at a marine and RV shop for ~$19/each. You also need to purchase the ball mount brackets for each strut too, ~ $4 for each strut.
You need to know the # PSI you want and well as the extended and compressed lengths. If I remember correctly, I purchased 30# PSI, 20" extended and 12" or 13" compressed.
In the past I have also purchased struts at NAPA or other auto shops.
