Swing arm TV mount / stripped screws
So the screws holding the TV on the arm in the overhead bunk area are stripped and the TV and mounting arm are rattling like crazy! I tried putting some caulk around the screws hoping that could help, no luck. I'm may go completely nuts hearing this all the way to FL from MI next month.

Try putting a toothpick in the hole and snapping off flush with the wall. Then tighten the screw.

It's rattling at the mount on the tv, not the wall. Will that work there as well?

Swing arm TV mount / stripped screws
Don't know about that. You might try rethreading the connection.

Not sure which bolts you are talking about, my sunseeker has 2 bolts holding the tv bracket to the mounting plate those have lock nuts on them. There are 2 thumb type bolts that you hand tighten after you move the swing arm. Both sets of bolts are a common thread and you should be able to get them at a hardware or home improvement center. Good luck

Remove the tv, remove the bracket, fill the stripped holes with epoxy, let dry and then re-drill and re-install the screws.

If it's really bad you could try a Heli-Coil. They are available at Auto Zone

I don't think they make heli-coils for that small a screw for plastic, but they might.

From what I understand, it is the back of a flat screen tv.

I did try plumbers tape. I actually think it could be the metal plate on the arm and the TV backing that's rubbing. I'm going to take it down and put a thin piece of packing Styrofoam sheet between the two.

I took the screws out and put that thin packing Styrofoam between the plate and TV and also used it to shim it because it's doesn't lay flush.
