Daniel, what bikes do you and your son ride? Inquiring minds want to know...

Here are some pictures. The table folds and slides in next to the sofa. It is my desk when we stay someplace for awhile. I made a little magazine rack along the wall near the window.
Have Fun and be safe

Leveling Blocks
My buddy Don and I and our wives have traveled all around the country together.
When getting really weight conscious we traded out our truck tailgates for metal “V” boxes. They are half the weight of those monster tailgates. They really come in handy when disconnected and shopping. When on the road they are used for numerous leveling blocking materials.
When getting ready to sell our home they were still building new homes in our huge golf course community. I had a talk with the construction foreman about the extra wood left over from the build. He told me if it was cut and in a pile with other cut wood I could have my pick from that pile. I took that information with me on the road and sure enough, it almost always worked.
The USTMA – tire people – say to never drive up onto sharp objects, even wood. In the picture you can see where I have cut a 45 degree angle on the ends of the 2” X 8” treated wood I use to drive up on when leveling the trailer. That stack represents replacement pieces I found to replace some broken or damaged ones.
The ones with handles are used under the landing gear pads, tri-pod pads and rear stabilizers.

IMHO, I wouldn't try screwing a tv mount to a wall. It is 1/8" thick plywood with foam backing on the outer wall and hollow on the inner. There is no wood in there. The frame is 1/16" aluminum square tubing and you'd be real lucky to find one to screw into. I doubt if it would hold up over time even if you do find one.
We have been all around the country and mine hasn't moved a bit and you only need two little eye hooks...less than a dollar at HD or Lowes. Oh and a small size Rok strap found at most motorcycle shops.
Good Luck and Stay Safe

The previous posters are correct in saying the wall won't support the TV in the long run.
On a slightly off-topic note: I'd give my eye teeth to use your new 250 for day in the old Wolf River bottoms or the trails in Chickasaw State Park or one of the many 'Hare and Hounds' from back in the day. My first bike was a Honda 125 Elsinore back in 1975 or 76 and many, many bikes later I ended with a Yamaha YZ wide ratio 250. I've never had the opportunity to ride one of the late model four strokes. I understand they are awesome.
On edit: You might want to weigh that rascal. I'm betting it will be closer 250 lbs.

Here are a couple more pictures. On a separate note I added hooks in the corners near the bed to hang our robes and night cloths on. We also use lots of command hooks all over the trailer.
And like CWtheMan I just cut up scrap pieces of wood and cut an angle on the edge for leveling blocks. I've had some of the ones you buy in the past and ended up giving them all away. Scrap wood works just as well and the price is right.

8 is better than 6 if it is level.

Just wondering about the Champion generator. Is it an invertor generator? What is the noise level? Some Federal and State campgrounds have a max decibel acceptable level and even if they don't your neighbors may hate you if you run a loud generator.

It appears the hwh is a Suburban. If so, it needs an anode.
