I have never owned a trailer with a wood TV backer. They have always been steel. But that could be because I have always owned fiberglass skin and aluminum frame trailers. Never stick and tin
I have not read that. Do you have a link to GD recommendation? There is a steel plate that the mount is now bolted to. I can't imaging a piece of wood would improve that
@@MikeJordanUnCamplicated It was actually a comment from a reader on the GD owners forum. I was thinking the same. Perhaps overkill. Since you have had no issues, I feel confident doing it the way you did it. I have the same mount and actually mounting a smaller TV.
I've got about 1,500 miles on it now. The last trip the road was so bad i thought I was going to brake a rim, or spring, or something. Everything is in tact including the TV
Great vid I'm about to install my TV in my grand design 24bhs 👍👍 thanks for the lesson sir. God bless 🙏🙏
I am glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
great how-to video
Thank you for your kind words. 2 years and many thousands of miles later bouncing down the road, its still solid as a rock
I thought they had wood backing in the walls. Like 3/8"? How did you know it was metal and to use magnets?

I read Grand Design recommends placing a piece of plywood in between the mount and the wall to give the mount more surface to bite. Overkill??

I have a grand design pre drilled my holes and the screws aren’t sinking in. What a mess this has been for me.
Did it hold down the road???

@@MikeJordanUnCamplicated I've used the same tv rack on my 2800bh, with an 32 inches, they come cheaper then 24 inches

I watched this because I intend to mount a fan on the wall instead of a TV.

How many washers did you end up using on each bolt?
three washers to give me the 3/4 screw depth
what size bit 3/16?
5/32nd I think. I almost positive I mentioned the size in the video though. And the size was in the mount directions
