This is a great tabletop/countertop mounting bracket for small and medium (up to 32") LCD TVs. This bracket is a solid platform that gives plenty of confidence for putting a flat panel TV in your RV or travel trailer. The mounting holes allow for several VESA patterns from 75mm x 75mm up to 200mm x 200mm and just about everything in between. The vertical arm is a two piece unit that can be raised and lowered to accommodate fitting larger and smaller sets while fitting under overhead obstructions. The maximum this bracket will likely fit is a 32" flat screen since the height of the TV will become a clearance issue from the TV centerline to the top of the triangular foot of the TV1-003H's base. Simply put, the bottom of the TV will brush the base if it's too big for the bracket.
The plate may be too big for smaller sets as depending on where they place the connections, ports for coax and HDMI may be obstructed by the mounting plate. Unfortunately there is really nothing that can be done about this. So measure your set from the center line of the VESA holes (dead center of the rear of the set) and make sure you have at least 8-1/2" x 8-1/2" of open area that cords don't access.
The only other thing that users may not like is the small foot print of the bracket. This has two downsides. First is that if you intend to leave this installed while moving the coach the road vibration could cause stress on the countertop and pull loose over time. OR cause flexing in the TV and transfer vibration into the TV causing damage. The solution to this is to do as I have done and trill though the countertop and feed machine screws with washers attached on the bottom and use wing nuts on top to make this removable. When it comes time to strike camp, remove the wing nuts and remove the TV and bracket as one piece, placing it somewhere safe for travel. This brings me to the second downside. There are four holes, the two in the front are easy enough to access, but the two in back may be a little more challenging. That said, I'm only using two and it feels solid.
Bottom line, what makes this a worth while investment over the stock base plate of an LCD if you just intend to move the TV when traveling? First (at least for my setup using a 32" Vizio) the bracket sits about an inch lower than the stock plate which makes it fit in the trailer's "Desk" cubby and fills the hole nicely. Second it IS bolted to the desktop which is nice when the trailer rocks as people are moving OR considering that an un-level trailer may add to the risk of the TV toppling. This is a great solution by the MOR/ryde corp that lets us RV'ers further spoil ourselves by taking the latest and greatest in entertainment with us on our vacations.
