I have a Hideout 272 LHS. There is a sticker on the wall over the fireplace that indicates where to install TV wall mount. Has anyone installed one? If so any tips would appreciated.

Thanks
Ken Kirby

I had something similar in my Outback travel trailer in the bedroom. I figured out there was a board placed horizontal between the wall studs and that is where the screws needed to go. I figured this out, because I used a stud finder and was able to outline the shape of the board. If you have a stud finder, that will be the best way to find the supporting board and get it's dimensions.

It's been a while, but I think mine was about 8 inches (up and down), and the length between the studs. Not real forgiving, but the kind of wall mount I used, it worked fine, because I attached a bar where the other half mounts to the television and it can be lifted off at any time. I never traveled with that television on the wall.

Don't trust the placement of that sticker !!!!! While it might be "close" you're not playing horseshoes or throwing grenades !!!

Use that stud finder and map it out. Keystone has been "wrong on decal placement" as many times as they've been right.... Even the photo that dutchmansport posted shows the decal off center from the actual wall mount...
