Mounting TV in Bedroom

[Jimore]

I'm in a 5ver 2017 26rls and there's a designated wall in the bedroom to put a TV mount. Can anyone tell me what hardware I should use to mount the bracket?
Thanks,

The ONLY part of any "optional TV mount area" in a Keystone RV is a "plate in the wall" (wood or metal) into which to attach the mounting screws... Usually, but not always, there is a coax outlet and a 120 VAC power plug adjacent to that area.

Anything else that you'd need is "up to you" and should be chosen based on the size of the TV you want to mount, the functional features you want from the mount and the physical size/weight of the mount (will it fit and do what I want it to do).

Most prefer (I think) that a mount which permits easy removal of the TV for travel and possibly to use in another location is a large part of the decision of which mount to use.

If you already have TV mounts in your RV, you might consider how they work and whether installing that type would allow "interchangeability" of the TV from one mounting location to another.....

Typically the outside wall is a metal plate welded to the aluminum studs. Internal walls have a wood plate stapled to the studs. I recommend an RV TV mount with a travel lock. As already mentioned, hardware you use depends on the weight of the TV installed

Thanks a lot for the information. It's about what I thought. My question now is where exactly is the wood or metal (behind the wall) into which I could screw the bracket?
Also, I was hoping to able to drive with the TV mounted in place. If I need to take it down there's no difference from what I'm doing now.

You should be able to tell by just knocking on the wall. They give pretty easy if there is nothing there, will feel a lot more solid where the wood is added for your tv mount. I used to take mine down to travel, but then decided one day it would be fine leaving up, never had a problem using 24" tv and a non extending mount.

That’s what I was hoping to hear.
I’ll try that for sure and when I do I’ll be leaving the TV mounted all the time
