Do you need a special TV mount for RV?
Can you use a regular TV mount in an RV? Yes, but keep in mind, if it has an adjustable arm that doesn’t lock, it’s advised you remove the TV from the mount during travel.
Can you put any TV in an RV?
It’s perfectly ok to use any brand TV in your RV or camper. You only need to know whether you can wire it for 12 volt use, or if you need to use it while using 120-volt power. Keep in mind that your mount should be VERY sturdy as not all roads are perfectly smooth.
How do you find studs in an RV?
Locating Wall Studs In a Camper Can Be Tricky
- look for the rivets that attach the interior wall covering to the studs.
- use a magnetic or electronic stud finder.
- go outside in the early morning (when there’s dew on the exterior of your camper) and you should notice an outline of the studs.
What’s the difference between RV TV and regular TV?
The main difference between a 12V TV and a regular one is their power draw. The former draws much less power than the latter. This means you don’t need to hook up to electricity to use one in an RV. The television can draw power from your house battery.
Can I screw into my RV walls?
Use the smallest screws or nails you can get away with. Long enough to hold the item in place, but hopefully not so long that they will damage anything behind the wall. Pre-drill the holes. By pre-drilling a hole in the wall, you will prevent the screw from cracking the wall as it goes in.
How far apart are studs in an RV?
It’s worth noting that studs inside a camper are usually spaced irregularly, and sometimes up to 24″ to 36″ apart. They’re not like those found in a residential house, on 16″ centers. There may be sections of plywood added in between the studs to reinforce certain areas in your RV’s walls.

Can I use a normal TV in a motorhome?
The standard small TVs work just fine. Don’t get a big one though as you will not be able to sit all that far away from it. The power consumption is very low so they can be easily used running from 12v – many are actually based on being 12v anyway and have a plug top power supply to run it.
