Large numbers of RVers have installed flat screens. Given the additional stress placed on the brackets by the coach being in motion... Extra caution is warranted.

TVs should be mounted with additional safety cables attached. Those which "articulate" should have a positive locking mechanism which takes the load off of the swing mechanism.

Thanks for the Info. I'm sure someone now knows why the TV fell out.

Safe travels...
