5. Installation Guide
Follow these steps carefully for a secure installation. It is recommended to have a second person assist during certain steps.
5.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Confirm your TV's weight and VESA pattern are within the mount's specifications.
- Identify the exact mounting location on your RV wall. Ensure the wooden board is at least 1/2 inch thick.
- Gather necessary tools (e.g., drill, screwdriver, level, stud finder).
5.2 Step 1: Attach Brackets to TV
Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface. Attach the TV bracket arms to the back of your TV using the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the brackets are centered and securely fastened.
5.3 Step 2: Mount Wall Plate
Position the wall plate on your desired mounting location. Mark the drill holes. Drill pilot holes into the wooden wall. Secure the wall plate to the wall using the provided lag screws. Ensure the wall plate is level before tightening all screws.
5.4 Step 3: Hang and Secure TV
With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets and hook them onto the wall plate. Ensure the TV is properly seated. The mount features a patented dual latch design for secure attachment. Once the TV is hung, engage the pull-cord lock to secure it in place.

5.5 Post-Installation Adjustment
After installation, you can make minor leveling adjustments of up to ±3° to ensure the TV is perfectly horizontal. This feature allows for fine-tuning even after the mount is secured to the wall.

6. Operating Instructions
The MOUNTUP RV TV Mount offers various adjustments for optimal viewing and secure travel.
6.1 Adjusting Tilt
The mount allows for a tilt range of +5° (upward) to -15° (downward). This helps reduce glare and provides a comfortable viewing angle from different positions within your RV.

6.2 Adjusting Swivel
The mount can swivel up to ±90° (left or right), allowing you to position the TV for viewing from various angles in your living space.

6.3 Extending and Retracting
The mount extends up to 14 inches from the wall and retracts back to a slim 2.7 inches, providing flexible positioning and space-saving when not in use.
6.4 Using the Lockable Design
The mount features a pull-cord locking mechanism to secure the TV in its retracted position during travel. To lock, push the TV fully back against the wall until it clicks into place. To unlock, simply pull the cord, and the spring lock will release, allowing you to extend the TV.
