Not Your Typical TV Mounting Bracket Question

**diventure** · 06-07-2022, 12:44 PM

I have read every TV mounting bracket post but have not come across what I'm searching for.

The previous owner of my 2021 Imagine 22MLE did not leave the TV behind. More importantly, without leaving the wedge shaped bracket that mounts to the back of the TV and which connects to the wedge shaped mounting bracket in the trailer. The mount in the trailer (see pics) is very similar to the Paw International brackets found on Amazon. Ideally I'd like to retain the mounting bracket in the trailer as it has the locking mechanism for keeping the TV secure when travelling.

I'm assuming the TV (and mount) is not unique to just the Imagine 22MLE. Calls to GDRV Customer Support and the dealer have all been unsuccessful. There are lots of TV mounting brackets out there but I'm looking for one that will match the existing trailer bracket.

Would appreciate hearing back from GD owners who may have the same mounting bracket on the back of their TV's to determine if there is a manufacturer's name on it and/or, anyone who might have had the same issue and what the work-around was.

Thanks.

Appears to be the same bracket used on our 2019 295RL living room TV. You might be able to use this as an example when talking with GD about what you need. They should be able to look it up as well for your trailer too.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I saw that bracket from GD (albeit it doesn't have the wedge) but was hoping that I didn't have to change out the trailer bracket if possible. I may have to go that route if I can't find anything else. Unfortunately I can't get GD Customer Service to answer the phone. Two calls and a half hour on hold plus opting to have them return my call has been unsuccessful. I have sent them an email in hopes that works.

You might try the GD Parts lookup (https://www.granddesignrv.com/owner-...y/parts-lookup). Looks like this is the TV that came with your coach (https://www.granddesignrv.com/owner-...s/detail/71712). Probably many/most VESA standard mounts will attach to the TV. You may have to bolt the standard mount to the one shown in your post, am I missing something, or is this fairly easy?

I checked with our Part's department.

We usually have the matching other half, but they are out of stock at all suppliers. None to be found....

Grand Design does have the entire mount available.

Thanks for this. I agree there are several mounts out there that will work with a new TV but bolting it to the existing wedge mount on the trailer won't work because the wedge is extruded and therefore, won't bolt up tight.

Thanks for your efforts in checking your Part's Dept. If I can ever get through to GD or hear back from them, hopefully purchasing the entire mount will be an option.
