Works Better Than Expected

I was worried that this would not hold my TV secure in my travel trailer. I was happily mistaken. I installed this in my trailer about a year ago, and it has been working perfectly. It has not moved or degraded in securing the TV to the wall even a little bit since then. I honestly had fairly low expectations for this, but this is doing its job better than expected. I'm very pleased with the purchase and would buy again.

Easy to install, difficult to adjust

I installed this in a travel trailer and mounting it was easy once I found a stud to screw it into. It is difficult to lock into place because the knobs are too small to grip easily. Because the mount does not lock into the wall plate the television will bounce around while traveling so you must either strap it to the wall or remove it and secure it elsewhere in the RV. The variable tilt feature is nice but the adjustment steps are too so large that the TV is either vertical or very tilted, with no way to slightly tilt it. It's a acceptable mount, but probably not the best choice for someone who travels a lot.
First - I think I want to give this product 3 1/2 stars, but the choices are 3 or 4... I really like the simplicity of this mount, and the fact you get two wall receivers that allow the TV to be moved between mounts is really nice. I'm using this mount in a Salem CruiseLite toy hauler - in the bedroom, and outside, for a Vizio 40 inch TV (15 pounds).
Installing the wall mount is really simple - you just need to make sure it's screwed into the provided backing board. The mount screws are beefy, but I think just a bit long for my RV. I cut out a square section of 1/2 inch plywood to use as an interface to make sure the screws didn't go through the wall, and give the mount more engagement on the front side of the wall.
My TV required the 200 mm backing plate, which fit perfectly. The articulated arm is where I took away the star. It looks like it's a great design, but while carrying the load of the TV, it's really difficult to adjust and get tight. I got it close, and then took the TV out of the receiver, set it down on a bed, and fine-tuned the adjustment, and made sure everything was tight. I then placed the TV back into the mount for viewing. Adjusting, and then making sure the adjustments were set is difficult with the TV in-place. The arm does accommodate a wide range of angles, so it should be able to adjust to most viewing positions.
I know I'm pushing the spec for TV size - Mount-It says 40 inch is the biggest - but they also say up to 30 pounds. With this TV, I would NOT tow the RV with the TV mounted in place. The arm moves around too much, I'm afraid an undulation in the road will cause an oscillation the would lead to failure of the arm, or separation out of the wall. So when we're towing the rig, the TV comes out, and is put into the bed during transport. It's only a few seconds to re-mount when stopped, but I think this still needs to be a consideration.
