New Forest River Wildcat TT outside TV mount

tx333 · 05-05-2017, 07:17 PM

Hello, I have a 2017 Wildcat 301RES TT that has a factory installed TV mount bracket and cable connection on the outside wall. The mount on the outside is a bayonet type metal bracket. It does not mate to the PAW plastic TV bracket. I found posts regarding the PAW bracket and adding a mount but couldn't find anything related to the bracket I have. The TV on the inside is a 40" and does not have the same mount and is not designed to be moved easily. Bedroom did not have a TV mount installed. ( I've already added a mount and TV there)
Does anyone know anything about this metal TV mount bracket on the outside? What is the brand? Where can I get one? I can probably fabricate something but easier to get the right thing up front. Thanks

I found the same issue on my PT TracerAIR.
I ordered a PAW tv mount from PAW International and it doesn't work. Too thick on the sides. And PT told me it was a PAW product.
The guy that owns PAW told me that the mount in your pic, is not one of his.

Luckily, I found a tv mount in my TracerAIR that works.

It's called a television V Slide $28 on ebay. I would think dealer can get mating piece from FR also.

Thanks but the link shows the plastic PAW mount. A call to Forest River should yield something. Don't think the dealer knows what it is.

Look up "happyjoy" on amazon and check the measurements
I bought a Lumsing mount from amazon that was an exact match but is unavailable now

Thanks. Mount type looks same but base plate on my mount is a little larger.
I did get a part number through email from Forest River "30I40106A" with a number to call yesterday. Have not contacted them yet to price.

Just got a call from the dealer. Seems one of their techs has the TV half of the mount in his tool box. Just have to go get. That'll work. Although still wonder who made it I won't lose any sleep over it

Finally picked up the TV mount from the dealer. Still don't know who the manufacturer is but it does mate to my outside mount. Plates are heavy steel. Looks like they would hold a lot but I'm not so sure the wall on the outside will hold anything heavy. Would be nice to know the weight capacity. Another email to Forest River.

New LED Tv's are super light. I have the same style mount in plastic and it holds a 32 LCD without issue.

Thanks, that's good. 32 is what I want to mount. Although for now the 32 has to go inside as the 40 that came with the camper has something wrong with the sound. Almost sounds like blown speakers, and, yes I don't hear the best anymore but I didn't turn it that loud

wife wouldn't let me anyway

Are you still looking for the bracket?

I got a bracket from the dealer. (Previous post) Apparently one of their techs had one in his tool box so it was free. I also got a part number from Forest River but didn't order from them. The bracket is made for a small TV. I'll have to modify it to accommodate my 32".

I ordered a new tv mount and came with a new wall bracket after my tv was stolen. Found out the thief took the bracket off and left it behind so I have an extra bracket and mount. It was for a 32".

The bracket they gave to me has 100X100 mount pattern. I'm not at my camper right now I don't remember the 32 TV mount pattern but it is much wider. May be interested. Could save me some modifications work. Can you send a pic with dimensions? Thanks
