What is this Bracket for? 2020 Flagstaff Mico Lite 21DS.



It is about 2 Ft aft of the door. Directly under the kitchen windows. Picture 2 shows it framed by the grab bar.

Moving the inside tv to the outside. That's why the connections are below it.

It appears to be a mounting bracket to hang your tv outside.

Ahhhh. Thank you

It's called a "paw mount", if it matters, you can either move your inside TV outside or buy an extra of the male side and install it on a spare TV.

As a side note, on our 2020 model 21DS, it is very difficult to lift the TV high enough to get it to disengage from the paw mount on the wall bracket. it's really a pain. I had to extend the wall mount fully and turn the TV a few degrees left or right to get enough clearance.

Actually it is probably NOT a PAW mount. I have the same mount on my TracerAir TT and PAW mounts don't work with the FR V-mounts. Not sure who FR sources their V-mounts from but it's not PAW.
I know this because I needed a V-mount for the bedroom tv arm so I ordered one from PAW. Didn't fit so I called them and was told that FR uses a different mount and theirs won't work.

FR probably gets them from who ever has them available. My 2022 has PAW mounts. But when I wanted another PAW was out and wanted $39 for a male and female pair.
I ordered from Walmart with the TV and got another brand for $10. looks the same but not PAW brand. DR

You should have received the corresponding square male bracket meant to attach to another TV in your accessories bag in the camper. Our Micro Lite has the same outdoor bracket. I know I'll never use it. If I'm outdoors I'm watching the outdoors, not TV.

This is what I bought for my extra television mount. Metal not plastic. It is mounted so I can just drop the television down so I am not looking up.
The link gives the dimensions of it also.

Yep, PAW mounts are plastic while the one pictured is metal as is the corresponding mount.

They didn't have steel ones, back when I was in communication with the owner of PAW International.
So does this plate accept the plastic PAW tv mount?

No. The dimensions are different. Not sure where I got the plastic dimensions but got the steel dimensions on the ebay ad.

So does PAW have the Vmount that slides into that steel mount?

That's exactly what my TracerAir TT had.
