Default Anyone used a LCD TV Aftermarket Mount?

Has anyone used a TV wall mount to mount their LCD TV and if yes, what location? I considered adding a mount to the vertical panel on the right side of fridge but concerned about 1.) hitting fridge or 2.) wall not being strong enough to support a 19" LCD. Currently, we sit the TV and mini-DVD player on a TV tray. Thanks in advance for replies and suggestions. Roy

I think we recently had several threads on this, Roy. Check through the Appliances forum, and maybe the Interior forum.

Default I think what you're looking for is...

As Bill stated, there have been a few discussions on this topic. There are some good discussions on it in this thread!

In particular, I'd look at MudDog's posts and his mounting solutions. He has two mounted with fairly inexpensive WalMart mounts and they look fantastic. It is something I am considering doing on my own TM as money permits.

Thanks for the replies. I've checked the forums but haven't located much, if anything regarding mounting on the wall along side fridge. We need to have the TV located close to the couch if possible since our eyesight is starting to fail us. Ha! Maybe I'll remove the fridge and see what's available in that area structurally.

Roy -

As you suspect, the wall alongside the refrig isn't structurally very heavy. I have been on the back side of that wall to do a project involving the outlets, and as I recall it is a single piece of unsupported 1/16-inch or 3/32-inch lauan plywood. I had to cut a piece of 1/4" plywood and glue it to the inside of that wall, to beef it up some for my small project. If you do this, make the piece as big as possible, and bring the edges as close to the cabinet frame as possible. I don't have my TM available at the moment, but the possibility of hitting the TV with the refrig door doesn't sound appealling.

In my 2720SL, that location wouldn't work well because it is too low. I mounted my LCD TV on the side of the hanging cabinet, which is only a few inches farther away from the couch.

Don't know if this would work for you or not.

You should be able to get access to the space beside the refrig from outside the TM. Whether it is enough access is a different question.

The Car Show had one when we were there last week. It hangs on bathroom wall, can be used for either bedroom or living area. I didn't bother to buy another camper TV (or even go look for a converter box) when the digital became mandatory, am happy to say we've been out for two weeks and haven't missed it for a minute.
