17 RK Television mount

[Jim Davis]

The factory installed TV swing mount is extremely difficult to latch for travel. It almost has to be slammed in to lock. Has anyone else had this problem and know of a simple solution.

Ours takes a little force but nothing too bad.

May try lubing the pivot points of the catch?

I think I sometimes pull the lock release tab down when i'm moving it back into locked position.

A machine screw Jayco used was too long. It had to have three washers under the head to snug up and as a result kept the mount from closing fully. A trip to Ace Hardware and a shorter screw that does not have a washer under the head solved the problem. 23 cents for the part.
