Installation of TV Wall Mount in 2018 Imagine Trailer

[John S]

Just bought new 2970RL. There is sticker on wall in Bedroom for wall mount TV. What size screws/bolts can I use to hold up 7-8 lb bracket and 11 lb TV?
Also, any anticpated issues with interior of wall--this wall backs up onto bathroom with sink that has wall mounted mirror and cabinets.

John S - There will be a metal plate on the backside of the wall surface. Find the edges of this with a small disc magnet. The wall surface is only about 3/16” thick. #12 x 1” Sheet Metal screws would be ideal. Drill a small pilot hole, but let the screw cut it’s own deep threads.

Thank you for the information.

The mount on our 2500RL is on the outside wall. Can I assume to use the same procedure, without running the screw through the outside skin? lol

Rob, thanks for the info. I always wondered what material they used for the backing plate. Do you know the total thickness of the exterior wall? I have a 2018 2600RB and will be mounting a tv in the bedroom on the exterior wall. I’m guessing the #12 x 1” sheet metal screws will work for me as well.
Thanks again for the info.
