Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Hi all, I am not a wood working guru and need technical help.

I just got my Little Guy Silver Shadow, and I have a under counter LCD TV I want to mount to the ceiling. It only weights 6lbs. The screws only come in from the top down. That makes it hard to install

I contacted Little Guy, and they told me that there are 2X2 supports are 6" apart by the ceiling vent, and one 6" back. My thoughts are to take two strips of 2X1 birch ply wood, and attach them to the TV lengthwise to where they extend past the edge of the TV, and screw the front into the 2X2 at the back of the ceiling vent, and the back flush mounted against the cabinet.

Does this sound good, or does anyone have any ideas? Pictures would help a lot.

Thank you,
John

would an industrial two sided tape work thats what I use on the flip down in my car

Yes John. That would be a good way to do it. I may use a single piece of 1/2" plywood instead of the strips. It could even be wrapped with some fabric before screwing it to the ceiling. Something that would match or blend with whatever the trailer ceiling is.

That's what I would do

Droid, I like your idea, but in Arizona where it gets extremely hot in vehicles the glue doesn't give, but it does slip and slide and makes a mess.

I was thinking of doing the strips because I have a 5"X16" of solid birch I could split and use to match the interior.

I will hopefully have my install done and I can post pictures.

Happy trails to all this weekend.

works great I did a couple of strips as well as the mounting scews if it comes off I have other issues to worry about

If you use tape.... Be sure there is padding below it when you tow....
