Mounting Flat Panel TV in Manufactured Home

Post by cdubaz » Thu Apr 26, 2012 9:41 pm

Hi. I haven't lived in a MF home for very long and have been trying to find out if I can mount my flat panel tv on the wall *and* how I can conceal the cables. I have found information on how it can be done but no information on if the same process can be done in a manufactured home. I did ask a neighborhood handyman and he made it sound like you'd practically have to tear the wall down to move or add an electrical outlet. He didn't inspire confidence so I'd like to have an experts opinion. Oh, the TV is pretty light, it is a 37" LCD and I plan to hang it flush on the wall.

Same process and probably even easier as you can fish your signal cables and power down through the wall and underneath and then back up to your distribution point This is actually a fairly easy DIY project.

Regardless what the local Handy Andy say's, You do not have to demo anything, you do not have to reinforce the wall for the 10-15 pound TV, you do not have to run a new dedicated circuit, you do not have to add extra piers under the chassis, you do not have to get an engineer to calc the loads and best of all it will not void your home warranty if still applicable.
