TV backer Rockwood 2819VS

[cornhusker]

Does anyone know where the backer is on this unit? There is a sticker on the wall but I cannot locate it. This is in the rear bedroom.

If you search the board there is a couple of other threads with a similar discussion. One says there is a plate in the wall behind the luan, another says there is wood behind it, and last another says there is a support directly under the sticker. I don't have a definitive answer, but am definitely following! What's size TV are thinking about mounting?

[cornhusker]

20 inch.....I have an email sent to Forest River for further direction. I will keep you updated.

A drunk put my sticker on. Push on the wall in that area. I could feel the backer behind the wall. The sticker 6-8" off.

[spydunks]

Dang... Iwanna... makes me NOT want to put a screen under the drunk-installed sticker.

That is exactly where bracket is mounted in our 2819vs. We have the same bracket on both tv's in trailer.

Is the sticker 6 to 8 inches higher than the backer? Is that what.you are saying?

Still sounds hollow 8 inches under the sticker? Can someone please post a picture if they have one please?

The TV came with Emerald Edition and was install by dealer.

Thanks Bruin!

I have checked there and I am empty.....does not seem to be a backer there. I will check when I get home from dinner/gambling

This is an outside wall and is no different than any other outside wall. They are not hollow. They are pressed with a foam inside. It should just have a metal plate where the sticker is located. The main tv in the interior cabinet has a wood backer.

When I drill into it no foam come out from the bit. I tap on the wall and just hear a hollow sound. The back wall is separating from mirror edge also. Just noticed that......sad day.

Don't be sad, separation happens. That's what caulking is for. The trailer is not falling apart yet. The more you travel the more things will loosen. The best thing to do is break something major in the trailer yourself so you won't sweat the small stuff when they happen on their own. What year is your trailer? If you want to see how wall is constructed pop off the outside fridge access and you should be able to see foam and paper thin paneling. I'm not not sure how big or thick the metal backing is but our mount seems to be solid.

When I look at your photo it looks as if you drilled a hole to far down and may have missed backer?

There is a few smaller holes in various places. Even in the sticker.....no luck.

The sticker was to the left of the backer. I don't have any pics of mine. It's a different trailer anyway. I can take some if you want.

Try to locate the studs or the reinforcement in the wall using a stud locator sold at Home Depot or Lowes. It can detect wood/metal, live wire etc.
