If in doubt, you can mount a backer board (1"x6"or8") across a couple studs in the mounting location and them mount the TV mount to that. If your using a flat mount (none articulating) you'll be fine. If you use an articulating or tilt mount, put a couple mounting loops on the backer board and secure it with a strap or fabric covered bungee to keep it flat and not extended. No need to remove it each time unless you just want to be overly cautious. Having it extended and creating all that leverage on the mount while moving is what gets you in trouble.

I emailed the folks at FR regarding the current tv supports and mount that is original to the unit, would be strong enough to support a 32” LED, weight is about 13lbs. They promptly responded that my 32” LED could be installed without any problems. I have since installed the LED, I will, more than likely install additional support, just for piece of mind. I will definitely not travel with the TV being mounted.
Just a note, I was pleased with FR quick reply to my question.
