TV in bedroom of Solera
If you ever wanted a simple, fast and easy way to mount a flat screen tv to a wall w/o any studs, etc., this "Omnimount" is the way to go. The kit has 4 round T shaped mounts that you screw on the back of the tv set. They have 4 different size screws that fit most any tv. There are 4 horseshoe shaped brackets that measure about an inch square each and each one has a hole in the center. You use the template provided in the kit to center your 4 brackets on the wall, bore the proper size hole and mount each bracket with the 4 wood screws provided. You then take the tv and place the T shaped mounts in the brackets and the tv is in place.
Also in the kit is a drill bit and plastic expansion shields to be used for mounting on a sheetrock wall (the kit is not specific to motor homes).
The bedroom wall in the Soleral has little, if any, supposrt. I did hit plywood for the top two screws and that will provide a little support.
The TV set is a 19" Hitach and weighs about 5 pounds at the most..meaning that even if you don't get any support behind the wall it is strong enough to hold the tv while parked. I don't think we will use it while moving anyhow.
Will try to provide pics later...
