Different Types of RV TV Mount Brackets

While there are many different types of RV TV mount brackets for you to choose from, certain factors (like the size of your TV and your TV viewing preferences) will help you determine which RV TV mount will work best for you. 

Here are four of the most popular RV TV mount types:

  1. Flat wall mounts. Due to their ease of installation, these are one of the most common types of RV TV mounts on the market. Flat mounts are fixed (non-adjustable) and are ideal if you have one set location in your RV where you watch TV.
  2. Tilt mounts. This RV TV mount type allows you to tilt your TV screen for a better viewing experience. 
  3. Articulating TV mounts. These are perhaps the most versatile type of RV TV mount and enable you to watch TV from more than one location within your RV.
  4. Desk TV mounts. These may be mounted on a desk, countertop, or bookshelf and are ideal for RVers who want to be able to mount TVs or computer monitors.
