Hi all,
I am putting a project together to get a much bigger view screen for us and the four kids in our motorhome. I am thinking about either a short-throw projector and small (140cm width) drop down screen or a 48-55" LED LCD TV. I am not looking for advice in the electronics department - bit of an expert there already!
I am looking for advice in terms of weight limits and mounting strategies. The TV would weigh 20kg, or if I went down the projector route, it would be about the same. A drop-down screen perhaps a little less (10kg).
What is the best way to mount that on the ceiling? Should I put a "skin" of thin wood screwed in at multiple places then mount the equipment onto that? Or are there mount points (like joists in a house) that I have to affix to?
It's the weight I'm predominantly worried about.
Advice/tips/ideas?
