I want to install a 24" television in the kids bunk house

[mic1hael]

Does anyone know how to install a wall mount swing arm for a television in a TT? Can I just screw into the aluminum studs or do I need to do something else? Any comments would be helpful.

I did this a while back, you can get very small tv mounts and screw them directly to the studs. Just remember the exterior walls are not to thick. I was able to use a swivel arm mount and an inside wall. Another Option is if you have a cabinet in the bunk area bolt down into the cabinet through the tv stand, usually some holes on the back side for this style of mounting.

I did not have a stud where I wanted to mount mine so I put a piece of ¾" plywood across two studs and covered it to match the wall. Then I could put the tv anywhere and be able to secure it for travel.
