RE: [A/S] Hanging a LCD tv on wall
The problem for us is that our rear bedroom mounting
point is on the bulkhead wall next to the power and
antenna outlet. That wall is a pocket door wall.
Meaning I have no access to the other side (without
removing the door), long screws are a no no, and the
wall is relatively light construction.
If you look at the wall mount used by Airstream for
factory added TV's, it contains either 6 or 8 screws
that go into the wall. Many more than the typical
mount that is sold at many of the appliance outlets or
electronics stores. Those additional screws spread
the weight load over a much wider surface.
I think my way to do this will be to build some
mounting surface that has a bigger footprint than the
standard mount. I would also look for a mount that
has many more attachements to the wall. Also that
rear area of the trailer is subject to the bouncing
forces that occur while traveling. That puts a lot
more strain on that mount which adds to the concern
about making sure you do this right.
