- Install Wall Plate: Choose your desired mounting location on a sturdy wooden board (minimum 1/2 inch thick). Use the provided bubble level to ensure the wall plate is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drill holes, drill pilot holes, and then secure the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts.
- Clip Arm into Wall Plate and Secure: Carefully align the articulating arm of the TV mount with the installed wall plate. Clip the arm into place. Once seated, secure the arm to the wall plate with the designated screw to prevent accidental detachment.

5. Operating Instructions
The ELIVED RV TV Mount offers flexible viewing options and a secure locking mechanism for travel.
5.1 Adjusting Viewing Angle
- Tilt: The mount allows for a tilt range of +5° to -15° to reduce glare and optimize viewing from different heights. Gently push or pull the top or bottom of the TV to adjust the tilt angle.
- Swivel: The articulating arm provides a +/-90° swivel range, allowing you to smoothly adjust the TV to a comfortable viewing angle from various positions within your RV. Gently push or pull the side of the TV to swivel.
- Level Adjustment: A +/-3° level adjustment feature ensures your TV is perfectly horizontal after installation. Use the small adjustment screws on the mount to fine-tune the level.
- Extension/Retraction: The mount extends out to 14.09 inches from the wall and retracts back to 3.15 inches, providing flexibility for viewing and space-saving when not in use.

- To Lock: Push the TV and the articulating arm fully back towards the wall until the locking mechanism engages. You should hear a click, and the arm will be securely held in place.
- To Unlock: Pull the strap located at the bottom of the wall plate. While holding the strap, gently pull the articulating arm away from the wall to release the lock.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your TV mount.

- Locking Mechanism: Ensure the locking strap and mechanism are free of debris and operate smoothly.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ELIVED RV TV Mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TV mount feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose fasteners; TV weight exceeds capacity; improper wall installation. | Check and tighten all screws and bolts. Verify TV weight is within 22 lbs. Ensure wall plate is securely mounted to a sturdy wooden board. |
| Cannot engage the locking mechanism. | TV not pushed fully back; obstruction in mechanism. | Ensure the TV and arm are fully retracted against the wall. Check for any debris or obstruction in the locking latch. |
| Difficulty adjusting tilt or swivel. | Joints are too tight; lack of lubrication. | Some joints have adjustable tension screws; loosen slightly if too stiff. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary. |
