TV Mount and Tips for Winter Living

Hi all,
I am new to RV life with a GeoPro 19FBS. I want to be able to mount a TV to the outside rail that came on the trailer. You can mount a table and the griddle on it. I thought I would use it for an outside TV instead. Any ideas how? When I Google it I only find where people bolt the mount the the side of the camper walls. I don't want to make holes and void my warranty.

Also tips on winter living. I plan to live in it continuously through December probably. It is supposedly 4 season. Depending on who you talk to they say that is fine or no camper is 4 season. It has wiring tank heaters. Any tips?

Moved thread from the Welcome Mat section to the Rockwood sub-forum since the OP's post is strictly technical and not a Welcome Mat post.

Not sure where you heard that a GeoPro is a 4-season trailer but it definitely is NOT.
3-season at best.

... don't know about the TV.

In temperatures well below freezing the drain pipes connecting to the dump valves can freeze, even with tank heaters. I wrapped an electrical pipe heater around them and stuffed an old blanket in the space to keep in as much heat as I could.

Also, completely drained water tank and lines every night.

It depends of course on the temperature, and also what resources you have available at the site. When we were at public parks, there were very few (if any) other campers in really cold weather. I had a long extension cord with me and would plug into the post on an adjacent site for an extra 30 or 50 amps. Very useful for heaters and electric blankets.

Although it's more involved, we enjoyed cold weather camping. Now after being retired to SWFL for 10 years that means 60 degrees.
