Rear TV Mount 2015 233s

Was wondering if anyone has mounted a TV for the rear bunks along the side of the refrigerator ? There is a power outlet and cable hook up but no mount for the tv.
Thanks

I did, in my 2014 233s. I found a TV mount with the same receiver as the factory mount. I didn't want to keep disconnecting the factory TV when the kids wanted to watch movies in bed or outside. So I bought a TV/DVD unit. This way the factory TV stays in place. Pretty easy to install.

Was there something behind the wall to screw to? I don't know if my 2015 has anything behind it.

We wanted to do the same. There was a factory sticker that said mount the bracket here. Not so, there was nothing behind it. So three holes later we ended up using a stud finder and just pressing against the paneling to feel for a stud.

Mine was not a stud. From what I could tell, it was a square piece of wood, assuming plywood, about 8x8. I also used a stud finder and 'traced' out the shape before drilling. Did you get the bracket installed?

Does it stay attached while traveling? I really like that idea as well. Might help the kids behave while laying in the bunk ends so mom and dad can have some peaceful quiet time by the fire

We have TV hanging fine. I would not have it mounted while traveling just case. It seems solid but I error on the not taking a chance.

I will have to check and see if there is something behind the wall when I get home tonight. Where did you get that mount?

I found the mount at wallmountworld.com. Not cheap at $140, but I wanted it to match the factory mount so I could use it outside as well.

Wall Mount World | RV and Marine | Articulating Tilting

It is really sturdy, the arm locks in place when against the wall, I leave my TV attached when in transit. I installed a 19" TV/DVD combo. I also bought an extra receiver wall plate, I'm thinking about making a stand so I can use it outside away from the camper too. My girls enjoy watching a movie around the firepit while making smore's - which we frequently do at home.

Evening we are using 22" TV for the back room. Makes it easy to watch the tube from either bed. We purchased a TV mount from a local RV dealer for @ 45.00. I found it on Jensen RV direct and was able to source it out,

Do you remember what size screws you used to mount this?

So, it sounds like that wall is a shared wall with the fridge? How much room is between the wall and fridge? I actually have a 2012 Roo 19 which has a shelf for the TV and no mount. I want to install a mount but am nervous that it'll punch right into the fridge.

Then again, is it simple to pull the fridge out (ie, can it be done by just removing a few screws and leaving it attached to the propane, electric, etc)?
