Exterior tv mount

How many of y'all have done this? Was it easy to do? What did you use to drill into the Fiberglas? Sorry so many questions. Been thinking about this for a while now. Thanks.

I haven't done it- but I've seen posts where people used the track that normally holds the small grills to the side of the camper and fabricated a mount that attached to it. Made it easy to put on and take off.

Others have put full motion mounts into the storage bay or outside kitchen that extend out past the side of the camper.

As far as drilling into the fiberglas, I just use regular metal cutting drill bits. I fabricated a bracket to use the BBQ rail and it works great for us. With the way I made the mount, it will also sit in the basement unattached to anything. Since I made a good cover for it, it will stay on the outside except when transporting.

Do you have any pictures of this? And also how did you locate the studs?

Didn't need to find the studs, but a stud finder works.

Might buy 2 mounts and instead of using the bolts & nuts to attach them, just use the bolt without the nut to make change over a little faster from outside mount to inside mount.
