Find the right location for your television and accompanying mount. You should install flat-panel wall, ceiling or desk mounts on a tough surface like a wood shelf or desk and not to the flimsy materials that RV walls are made of. Measure the area to make sure your television will fit there. Keep in mind that your new mount will have a swivel to allow the television to move around a bit, so when measuring, account for some room for the movement.
Buy a television mount that will work in the surface you've chosen. You can order a mount tested to work in an RV from a company such as TV for My RV, or you can buy one where you got your television. It's a good idea to buy a mount with an articulating arm, that allows you to move your television into many different positions. When you buy your mount, add in a locking knob that will keep your television from moving while the travel trailer is in motion.
Screw your mount o the mounting surface. Depending on the television and mount you've chosen, you may need to screw a mounting bracket on the back of your television, and then bolt the television mount to the mount on your wall, desk or ceiling. Tighten all screws and make sure your mounts are secure.
Place your television onto your mount. Have another person there as you put your television in place, in case anything goes awry and you need someone to hold your television while you make adjustments.
Hook up the television power cords to an outlet in your travel trailer. Connect any cords that attach your television to a DVD or Blu-ray player.
Secure your television in one place when you're on the road using the locking bolt.
