The Mestic TV Wall Bracket range offers three robust mounting solutions designed specifically for motorhomes, caravans, and campervans. The MTVB-10, MTVB-20, and MTVB-30 models all feature VESA compatibility with standard 75×75mm and 100×100mm mounting patterns, fitting most small to medium-sized televisions used in mobile leisure vehicles. These brackets are engineered to handle the constant vibration and movement during travel, keeping your screen secure whilst on the road.
Built with stepped joints and lockable designs, these TV wall brackets prevent unwanted movement when driving. The locking knob mechanism secures both the arm and television against the wall during transit, addressing the main concern for anyone mounting electronics in a moving vehicle. Each model keeps the TV close to the wall when folded, maximising limited living space inside your vehicle. The adjustable arm extends when needed, allowing you to change viewing angles for comfort depending on where you're sitting.
Installation requires mounting to reinforced areas within your vehicle's walls, typically where existing cabinets or shelves provide adequate support. The brackets work with screens typically ranging from 13 to 27 inches, though the specific weight capacity varies between models. One consideration is ensuring optimal mounting strength by adding a backing plate or mounting through to reinforced areas, which distributes the weight evenly across caravan wall panels and provides the same secure installation you'd expect from any quality TV bracket setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
VESA refers to the standardised mounting hole pattern on the back of your television. The Mestic MTVB-10, MTVB-20, and MTVB-30 brackets support 75×75mm and 100×100mm VESA patterns, which covers most small to medium TVs used in caravans and motorhomes. You'll find four mounting holes arranged in a square pattern on your TV's back panel. Measure the distance between these holes horizontally and vertically to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
Locking mechanisms on Mestic TV brackets prevent the arm and television from swinging or vibrating during travel. Road vibrations and movement whilst driving create constant stress on the mounting points, and an unlocked bracket allows the TV to bounce around, risking damage to both the screen and mounting hardware. The lockable knob design on these brackets secures everything tightly against the wall, protecting your investment when you're on the move.
The three Mestic models differ primarily in their articulation range and extension capabilities. The MTVB-10 provides basic fixed or minimal tilt mounting, keeping the TV closest to the wall. The MTVB-20 offers enhanced adjustability with stepped joints for preventing vibration and improved angle adjustment. The MTVB-30 delivers the most versatile positioning with extended arm reach and greater swivel and tilt ranges, though it weighs approximately 1.5kg. All three share the same VESA compatibility and locking mechanisms designed for vehicle use.
Caravan walls are typically thinner than domestic walls and require special mounting techniques. Locate areas with existing reinforcement, such as where cupboards or shelves are already mounted. Install a backing plate of at least 15mm plywood with minimum 25cm edge length on the reverse side of the mounting location. Use bolts rather than screws, passing them completely through the wall panel and backing plate with washers to distribute the load. This prevents the bracket pulling through the thin panel material under the weight of the TV and bracket combined.
Whilst Mestic brackets include locking mechanisms designed for travel, many experienced motorhome and caravan owners recommend removing the TV and storing it separately during transit. This eliminates risk from unexpected severe jolts or impacts that exceed the bracket's design limits. If you choose to leave the TV mounted, always engage the locking mechanism fully and check the mounting bolts remain tight before each journey. Consider the combined weight of your TV and bracket against your wall reinforcement strength.
Mestic TV brackets typically accommodate screens between 13 and 27 inches, which suits most leisure vehicle installations. The size limitation comes from both the VESA mounting pattern compatibility and weight restrictions rather than screen dimensions alone. Check your specific TV weighs less than the bracket's maximum load capacity, and confirm it has either 75×75mm or 100×100mm VESA mounting holes. Larger screens require different VESA patterns like 200×200mm which these brackets don't support.
You'll need a drill with appropriate bits for pilot holes, a screwdriver or socket set for the mounting bolts, a tape measure for accurate positioning, a spirit level to keep everything straight, and a stud finder if available to locate reinforced areas. Additionally, source appropriate length bolts with washers rather than using standard screws, as bolts provide better holding strength through thin caravan panels. Have backing plate material ready, such as 15mm plywood cut to size, which you'll mount on the reverse side of your wall panel.
Standard domestic TV brackets lack the reinforced design and locking mechanisms needed for vehicle environments. Regular brackets don't account for constant vibration, movement, and the thinner wall construction found in caravans and motorhomes. Domestic brackets also typically lack the securing features that prevent the TV from swinging during travel. Whilst they might physically fit the VESA pattern, they won't provide adequate safety for mobile applications where the mounting experiences continuous stress and movement.
