Anyone Installed a TV in their Bedroom on an Imagine and How Do You Travel With it?

[Knguyen525]

I have an 2017 Imagine 2800BH. I installed a 32" LED TV (8 lbs) to the wall that has the TV plate sticker. There are 3 metal screws that I drilled in to hold the mounting arm. Feels very secure and there was no play in the screw when I hand screwed the screws in. I am curious to hear how many have installed a lightweight led tv in their bedroom to that TV backing plate on the wall. Do you travel with the tv hooked into the arm or do you take it off while traveling? I am a little concerned that traveling with it on could cause the tv to bounce around and eventually rip the mount off the wall. I understand there is a piece of plywood backing behind the spot marked "TV..." on the wall.

I have a 29" television in my bedroom mounted on the wall. I used a magnet to find the plate runs from stud to stud above my window--where the sticker is.

My mounting bracket is of high quality and the hinges are very tight. It doesn't seem to bounce around at all, as I fold it flat against the wall when it's moved.

I have a 28" I mounted in the bedroom. I have a slid in backer on the tv that is very easy.https://www.amazon.com/PAW-Internati...ds=RV+TV+Mount. That is mounted to https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
It is easy slid on slide off. I store the TV under the bed in the box. Very easy to deal with I think.

Hope these show ok.

I have a mount that locks in place flat against the wall for travel, works great so far.

What size screws are you using?

What is the maximum length screw you can use? I don't want to go through the side of the trailer. Does anyone know the dimensions of the backer in the wall?

Just talked to Ray in Customer Service @ Grand Design re: mounting our Reflection 337 RLS bedroom TV. He says the screw should be a regular screw no longer than 1 1/2" and the metal backer is a 15" X 15" square located directly behind the sign indicating where the TV should be mounted. Hope this helps.

The plate in mine was not behind the sticker. Use a magnet to locate it.

+1. Don't rely on the sticker being in the correct spot.

Here's a picture where I used a magnet to find my plate and where I used masking tape to outline it. The masking tape is just outside of the plate. So as you can see if I drilled directly under the label I would have missed the metal plate.

The plate location is easily identified using a magnet.

The cross is the general area where the center top screw of my mount will be.
