I want to use this in an RV (extended, swiveled, etc.), but I need to have it wall-flush and locked while moving. Is there any way to lock it down? Tx

No way to lock. May have to secure from the front with strap or something to the wall it is mounted on n

Mine moves 140 degrees, how does one use it without the swivel mount? I must have missed something in the box because all mine does is swivel. it works fine, I'd be concerned by the plastic breaking if it didn't swivel - at 1st i thought it would break because it is plastic and so much weight and force is put on it - but this thing is quite strong.

Love it; but, if you are looking for a hard lock this may not work for you. It locks full back or extended with an elbow that allows turning the tv. Mine is in my Rv and works great for what I want.

No. I tried doing the very same thing an it wouldnt work. The wall brackets don't swivel enough to make it flush against the wall. It is definitely engineered to only go betweeen two vertical surfaces.

Yes you can... you can vary the width! It does only lock at fully extended, but I use mine in between often.

No, it is not capable of doing that. It must be used just as shown when detached from a hitch. If you are wanting to lock it as you described, you will need a cleavis latch lock to do that or a padlock will work too. I prefer a dog bone style lock that does not have an exposed shackle. You may also consider securing your hitch to your receiver. There are locks for that as well. I hope this helps.

I purchased this with the intention of using it with my RV. It dosen't seem to want to work through the walls of my RV.

Doesn't need locked in. The weight of the tv keeps it from moving much. I just moved it up or down and then left and right when I installed it and have not moved it since. Very heavy duty and does the job.

We are using this mount in our camper. Our tv has a swivel wall cubby for the tv. We have added cut up pool noodles on the corners and a velcro strap to be extra safe. We've been using this mount for about a year without any problems.

I just tried to move it to do just that & it does swivel. I love mine. It lasted almost 4 years before it developed a leak. I'm having a new one installed in the next few weeks.

Yes. I actually did the same in my RV. I positioned the mount so that I could secure the TV flat against the wall when moving, the mount then allows me to position the TV in the corner of the bedroom for viewing. It would work fine for just corner mounting. I really like the quality of the mount, heavy duty.

There are two allen head screws that secure the vertical arms (secured to the TV) to the horizontal plate (secured to the wall). These seem to prevent the unit from being accidentally dislodged ;however, on my unit they do not absolutely eliminate the possibility of the TV being moved left/right. It seems unlikely that "small, curious hands" could facilitate this.

I do not have a lock on mine, so I am not sure about how to lock it, guess I am just a justing camper, I do stay in safe rv parks though.

You can lock it pretty much any height you want. You raise and lower by turning a loop and the lock puts a pin in the loop so it won't turn.

Mine is hanging from cabinets above bed in corner of my trailer. .it can turn a bit but that's what I wanted. Or I can lock it ..so I'd say yes.

I have it leaning slitely between 2 walls. I reinforced it with the straps so that it won't fall forward. If you need it to be flush with walls, that might need some rigging. Good Luck Leigh.
