TV install

[MTRATTON]

New to owning an RV. Installing TV in bedroom of 2025 Freedom Elite 25 HE. There is outlet & coax jack on the wall in this area. No label for backer plate & magnet found nothing. I assume I am looking for a vertical stud trying to miss the plumbing in that wall? Any tips?

That implies Thor MC intended for TV to be there. Maybe it was an option for upgrade? Either way, I would call TMC and find out. The mount you buy or intend to say a lot. i.e. I have a 40" TV on a wall and I doubt it is on any stud. It is solid as a rock based on the design of the mount and fixture which is custom OEM.

For best idea from others, pictures will help. In my bedroom, my TV is mounted on a cabinet door that lifts up and down, not open side to side like a normal door. But hopefully you get the point of the pictures and call to TMC.

What's on the other side of the wall? Bathroom? If the shower fixtures (faucet, etc.) is in that wall, remove the 4 or so screws holding the flange around the faucet. Then you can see the plumbing.

There's obviously no beefy wall studs, just 1x2 framing. Use a stud sensor to find those.

A lot of RVs use staples to hold paneling on so there are small dimples that is covered by chaulking

Yes.
I've never been in a motorhome that I couldnt just press my palm, then knuckle, on a wall and find a stud.

I believe you have what Thor calls a 25HZ, although some Camping worlds call it a 25HE.

Is this your floor plan?

 

[Jimbo57]

If the floor plan is correct that 16ace27 posted be careful of pocket door area and plumbing. On RV we owned we added a tv with thru bolts in closet wall

Yes that is the correct floorplan & Thank you for assistance. Found it & mounted.
