I'm looking to put this in our travel trailer. do you have to take the tv down when hauling or can it stay mounted while in the rd?

I take mine down during travel due to lack of support in the wall it's mounted to.

We haven't moved our travel trailer - we're seasonal campers. I think that we would probably take the TV down and put it face down on the bed if and when we move the camper, just to be safe.

We always do to be on the safe side. We travel with the tv face down on the bed and put pillows around it. It is easy to put back up.

I have the same mount on 22" led TV that weighs about 11 lbs and leave it mounted during travel for two years now.

It can stay mounted while on the road. However, it is easy to remove and remount the TV. Over time the screws in the mount may loosen due to the strain put on the mount while travelling and fall off.

I leave mine mounted never had a problem. I did have to buy different screws to mount to the wall. The screws that come with it were too long.

The joints can be tightened with supplied hex wrench, but in an RV I would still probably attach a small cable from the TV mounting plate to the wall to limit its range of motion.

We don't dismount it for travel. The TV locks into place, so you don't have to. We have a 32 in mounted on one and a 19 in mounted on the other mount and have taken several trips with no issues. Hope this helps. :)

I have two of these, one indoors and one outdoors on my covered deck. No tools needed for removing or placing the television on the mount. There are two yellow clips that retain the tv in position, I just slide them off tilt the bottom of the tv out and lift. Of course it helps if the television is one of the new skinny lite ones. The tv on my deck although a flat screen is older and weighs about 40 lbs. so it helps to have some help aligning it. I would not have bought the second one if I wasn't very please with the first one.

I haven't had that happen at all. The weight of the television seems to make it stay where it's put, but I do have a 50" TV on it. My wires don't put any noticable pressure to want to make it spin on it's own, either. I don't live in an earthquake zone either.

Not that I can see. We have it in our RV and since it locks the TV in place while traveling we haven't found the need to dismount it.

NO. You can remove the vertical bolt, and leave the mounting plate on the tv for future use.I'd replace the nut on the bolt with a wing nut. If the tv not to heavy, it should be easy to alignthe bolt through the holes. You can remove the tilt knob, but it will take two persons, one to hold the tv,and one to hold the carage bolt to tighting it.A drop on mount still has to be bolted in place if the RV is being moved.Walt

My TV is 80 inches, so it was very heavy, but it wasn't difficult otherwise. It kind of hooks on and then you tighten it up with a screw once it is on there so it stays. I've never removed it, but it would be easy to do so.

Yes, it goes down. It hides the stuff underneath mainly. Believe me, your tv will not fall off that platform.

I wouldn't trust putting a TV on. I am surprised the thing doesn't fall under its own weight. The mount is rather flimsy

I mounted it under the cabinet where the previous tube TV was held. The bracket tilts back and up so access to the vanity area is not restricted when tv is stored. I created a cardboard cutout of the TV, so I could place the bracket so when folded it would not hit back wall.

The base on the TV mount screws to the shelf and you have to unlock it for the TV to move forward. The TV can then swivel side to side but only about 3-4 inches each direction. We have this mounted inside a cabinet in our RV and it works well for us. We push the TV back into the cabinet when the RV is moving and pull it out at night when we want to watch TV.

It's a pretty stiff unit, depending on TV size it might not move. You could easily put a zip tie or 2 on the scissor bars and lock it down during travel. Hope that helps.

It's pretty much set where it is. Depending on the size of your TV, you probably won't even be able to move the mounting bracket up or down due to it's lack of height.

I read somewhere that if you are standing up, the top of the TV needs to be at eye level and if you are sitting down, the bottom frame of the TV needs to be at eye level. That said, I have options on my mount to swivel & tilt it a bit for minor adjustment. I have had it mounted this way for a couple months now without any neck aches. :)

Kier I think this is a very stiff mount. I drive with it in and when it is in it is resting on a cross piece of wood about inch and a half wide . When I travel I like to make the tv move up and down with the rv with out vibrating. Telling you this I say the mount is and excellent mount. In the out position the tv will not fall that is for sure. Allen

It has to be mounted on the wall. It does not have an option to hang under TV.
