vegas/axis 24.1 Bedroom TV ripped off wall

I was NOT surprised to find the TV ripped off the wall coming home from a trip. It was secured with some very undersized looking screws. This gives me a chance to swap out the cheap TV they load it with. I was going to go for a single stud TV mount with arm. anyone have any idea what the stud situation is behind the wall? I used this at home and it worked really well https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

How are you going to lock the mount down. Your TV will be going all over the place. I'm guessing the walls are 2x2, I would drill a hole before running lags in

Ahh good point. I guess I need some sort of sleeve on the arm, or go with the existing mount. What is the image you attached? Looks like there is some sort of strap? Is that to lock down the arm?

My outdoor 40" TV is on a swivel mount like that with the lock. It works very well and compact for me to recess and close the TV hatch door.

My bedroom is mounted to cabinet door that lifts up. No Swivel, I can't imagine it falling off though? It is 24" TV that we rarely if ever use. Plenty of storage space behind it though.

Don’t need a tv for “fun”! Took it down and installed a fan for when things heat up.

Right I was going to put in a ceiling fan but at 6'4" I would only walk in once. She only has the tv on for 1/2 hour because she wants to do other things,
Sleep

I tried multiple times listing all of the things we do for fun in the RV's bedroom; given we only have a 24" TV, and none of them came through!!! Maybe it was auto block on keywords, or an autobot administrator deleting the posts?
