Bedroom TV instal in our 2024 Vita

[Pointyears]

Planning on installing a 27" TV in the Vita "bedroom" (thank you Black Friday). I'm presuming that Winnebago's intention is for it to be mounted on the wood interior pocket door wall. Hard to tell since there's no designated area marked, just the power/cable in the roofline corner. Many RVs have a metal plate in the wall for the mount to screw into; I can detect no such thing in the Vita. Either there's not one, or it's not magnetic (or detectable through the 1 1/8" thickness). I'm assuming (uh oh....) that just using 1" wood screws on the mount would work just making sure that they weren't too long to hit the pocket door.
Has anyone with a 24/25 Vita mounted a TV there on that wall? Any advice?
Thanks.

I ended up calling Winnebago today and the guy sent me the enclosed diagram with no explanation. Back in the day, I used to be able to read blueprints just fine, but this drawing just has me totally confused. There's no context for this; so little, that I'm not even sure that it's correct. Nor can I find where this came from on Winnebago's site (I'd looked at https://catalog.winnebagoind.com/2024/24wmc24p.htm prior to calling to see if I could find anything relevant, but nothing).

Any suggestions? Can someone lend me the magical decoder ring?

I was hoping to be more helpful in this reply, but then I realized I have a Vita 24F, not a 24P. And a 2020 at that, not a 2024. But, since I like playing junior detective, I did some digging anyway. I'm not entirely sure Winnebago intended to provide support for a 27" TV where you'd like it (and where it makes the most sense to be - at the foot of the bed.)

I think they intend for there to be a postage stamp sized TV in the top corner where the bathroom pocket door wall and the rear wall of the camper meet. Which explains the outlet you mention seeing up there. You can sort of see Winnebago's bedroom TV setup in the interior gallery section of the 24P on their web site. And it looks to line up with the previous 2020 24P incarnation too.

Seems like you're already on the right track in thinking you'll need a custom setup to end up where you'd like.

After spending some quality time with a tape measure, painter's tape, and a a stud finder, I broke the code. The mount is actually an offset swingarm mount and it's screwed in towards the right side of the TV. Considering the possiblity of driving and bouncing and the weight being a bit of a lever into where the mount is screwed in, I also did some stress release with a zip tie and one of those 3M stick on hooks. In a perfect world, it would have gone a few inches lower, but I couldn't do that. I'm also glad that I got the 27" instead of the 32" I was originally considering.
I think I'm set now, but thanks for the reply, and yes, the bedroom is perhaps the biggest change between the F and the P.
