TV mount 2017 XLR Hyper Lite 29HFS

Does anyone have a suggestion for a TV mount that is not off center when mounted ... I want the tv to be centered when the swing arm and tv are up against the wall ... with the stud being in the center if I bolt the swing arm to the stud the tv ends up off center ... I have a 2017 XLR Hyper Lite 29HFS toy hauler and I want to mount a tv in the living room centered on this wall.

Thanks

The camper is in storage so I can't get a pic but my mount was from Target and swivels out in front of the couch.Click image for larger version

I also have a 2017 29HFS.

After tons of research, I found the perfect mount. Link below. It full extends out over 2ft for the perfect angle when youre sitting on the couch. The space can also do a slim bezel 40".

Looks good. Centered is nicer for sure.

Its a 40" vizio. I picked up it on a black friday AD at Target in 2016. I don't think it would fit anything larger than a 40" but 40" is pretty large for that size of a living area. I wished the furrion head unit played blurays.

XLR TV mount

Hi Toneaero,
I am wanting to achieve exactly as you have done.
Can you give mounting details?
What/Where exactly did you screw into for the mounting?
Did you use any additional backing materials, plywood or ??

Photos of your install would be excellent.

Thanks

Sorry for the delayed reply! Camper was in storage for a little while.

Here is a picture of how it mounts to the studs. I was able to get 6 wood screws into the wood studs. It could have accepted 8 screws but the screw holes on the right side didn't align with any wall stud. Over 4 thousand bumpy miles and no sign of TV mount failure. The tv arm is really long when fully extended too. The best mount out there IMO.

Thanks, excellent picture (worth a thousand words)
I went ahead on faith and ordered the same mount, it should be in tomorrow.
TV is a 40" Samsung suppose to weigh in at 18 lbs(8kg). I haven't confirmed but it's less than 25 for sure.
Hopefully I have as much success as you have.

Thanks again

IF you go with a Dish Tailgater or something Like that the Hole over in the cabinets makes a great place for the receiver. Just get you a Long HDMI cable and A long Extension cord. You can go thru the cabinets down under the flooring and back up thru the Floor in the Bedroom storage area to the cabinet under the Tv. Takes a little work routing the wires just Look before you drill into the Floors But it works for a Nice install and A good place to put a receiver.

Hi Toneaero,
I went with your exact set up and it worked perfect.
Like yours not all bolt holes were used.
My slide quit working but I was still able to get the TV out from behind for full viewing.
No trouble transporting at all.

Thanks for the advice.
