We own a forest river surveyor hydrid tt. The kind where the beds fold out like tent ends. We only owned it a year now and are pretty much scared to do any mods to it. We haven't even hung a picture yet. Oh wait I put a sticky hook on a wall to hang our keys that's it lol.
This year I want to personalize it to make it our own. First order of business is I'd like to mount a tv. I was bummed when I realized our jenson radio which will plays dvds is outdated and would need a tv with rca cables. No hdmi . I'm surprised by this being its a 2016 trailer. So we're going to just bring our own DVD player. The pic quality will be better anyways and I don't gotta find an old tv to match our old radio.
So sorry for the dragged out question but here it is. It makes me real nervous to mount a tv. Putting holes in the wall ??.
1. Are there regular studs in the wall ?
2. Are the studs weaker/smaller than a regular stud in a house ?
3. Sorry if 1 and 2 are the same questions lol. Has anyone done this and if so any advice would be appreciated.
Be VERY careful on the length of the lag screws for the TV bracket. Assume your walls are only 1" thick. The Lag bolts for my TV bracket were 1 3/4 long. I almost drilled through and then measured my walls and realized only 1" thick. I would have drilled right through from my bedroom through my shower enclosure! I bought 3/4" lag bolts and everything was fine! BE CAREFUL!
