RV TV Mounts - Mobile Installation Solutions
RV TV mounting is a completely different challenge from home installations. You're dealing with constant vibration, road movement, lightweight wall construction, and space constraints that don't exist in houses. Standard TV mounts can damage your TV or walls when the RV moves - you need purpose-built solutions with locking mechanisms, vibration dampening, and mounting systems designed for thin RV walls. We work with RV owners who've learned the hard way that regular mounts don't survive the road. Whether you have a Class A motorhome, travel trailer, fifth wheel, or camper van, there are mounting solutions designed specifically for mobile living.
Locking RV TV Mounts
The most critical feature for any RV TV mount is a locking mechanism. When you're driving, normal TV mounts allow the TV to swing, bounce, and potentially crash into walls or cabinets. Locking mounts secure the TV in a fixed position for travel, then release for full adjustment when parked. Look for positive-locking mechanisms (not just friction-based) that will hold through rough roads, sudden stops, and off-road travel. Quality RV mounts also include vibration dampening to prevent constant micro-movements from damaging your TV over time.

Wall Mounting for Thin RV Walls
RV walls are nothing like home walls - they're typically 1-2 inches thick with thin paneling over foam insulation and minimal structural framing. Standard mounting hardware will pull right through. Successful RV TV mounting requires: finding structural supports (framing, not just paneling), using backing plates to distribute weight, and often reinforcing the mounting area. Some RV owners add plywood backing behind the wall panel for secure mounting. Know your wall construction before drilling - some RVs have metal framing, others wood, and some areas have no framing at all.
RV Wall Types & Solutions:
| Wall Type | Description | Mounting Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Frame + Panel | Traditional construction | Mount to framing members with proper screws |
| Aluminum Frame + Panel | Lightweight construction | Sheet metal screws or toggle bolts |
| Laminated/Bonded | No frame, bonded layers | Requires backing plate or furniture mount |
| Slideout Walls | Extra thin, flexible | Often not suitable for TV mounting |

No-Drill RV TV Solutions
Don't want to drill into your RV? Several options exist that don't require permanent wall modifications. Furniture-mounted arms attach to cabinets or entertainment centers. Ceiling mounts work if you have accessible ceiling joists. Freestanding mounts can be secured with straps during travel. These solutions are popular for rentals, newer RVs you don't want to modify, or situations where wall construction doesn't support mounting.

Outdoor RV Entertainment
Many RV owners want outdoor TV capability for campsite entertainment. Options include outdoor TV mounts on exterior walls, portable setups you can take outside when parked, and projection systems. Outdoor TVs need weather protection when mounted outside - either purpose-built outdoor TVs or enclosures for standard TVs. Some RVs come with pre-wired exterior TV connections that simplify setup.

I’m Alex Crabinsky, and over 10 years and 7,874 installs across Metro Atlanta, I’ve mounted my share of TVs in motorhomes, fifth wheels, and Class A rigs parked at customers’ homes before they head out. RV mounting is its own world, and the wrong bracket choice will cost you a TV before your first big trip. Learn more about my background on the author page.
Atlanta installer expertise: RV TV mounts
After 7,874 documented installs across Metro Atlanta since 2015, the Express Mounting crew has logged a meaningful share of work on RVs parked at owner homes - especially in pockets of Cobb County, South Fulton, and the Henry County corridor where larger driveways and HOA-permitted RV pads make at-home cabin upgrades practical. The RV jobs cluster around three customer types: full-time RVers wintering at private campgrounds in Lithia Springs and Tucker, Stone Mountain Park weekenders who keep a Class C or travel trailer ready for Memorial Day through October, and the racing crowd that tows a fifth-wheel or toy hauler down I-75 to NASCAR weekends at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton.
The failure modes we see most often have nothing to do with the TV itself. Issue number one is anchor selection - cam-lock positive-engagement mounts (the MORryde and Furrion units we keep on the truck) hold through Georgia’s pothole-rich state highways, while velcro-strap and friction-only mounts loosen within the first 200 miles and end with a Samsung face-down on the cabin floor. Number two is the 12V versus 110V power question: most RV factory TVs ship as 12V to run off house batteries when boondocking, but customers swapping in a larger 110V smart TV need a properly sized inverter (we recommend 300W minimum pure sine wave) wired to the chassis battery, not a $30 cigarette-lighter unit that browns out under load.
The hardware we keep on the truck for RV work: MORryde locking mounts in 25-lb and 50-lb capacities, Furrion 75-lb mounts for Class A applications, 1/4-inch plywood backing plates pre-cut to common sizes, marine-grade toggle bolts for laminated walls, and aluminum L-brackets for slideout-wall reinforcement. We do anti-rattle strap testing on every install before we leave - thirty seconds of 60-Hz vibration with a Bluetooth speaker against the wall reveals any loose hardware before the customer hits I-285.
A representative recent install: a 2022 Grand Design Reflection fifth-wheel parked in a Smyrna driveway, owner upgrading the 32-inch factory TV to a 50-inch LG. We added a 1/4-inch plywood backing plate behind the entertainment-center wall, mounted a Furrion locking arm with stainless hardware, ran the original 12V coax behind the wall, and added a 400W pure-sine inverter on the existing 110V outlet. Total install time: 2 hours 15 minutes. Total customer cost: $199 base mount fee plus $89 for the inverter wiring labor.
