Default TV mount for trailer

Looking for recommendations for a fixed TV mount in the trailer. I've seen some VESA mounts with the ability to lock, but, is that enough to keep the TV from ending up on the floor?

I would by no means trust an off-the-shelf mount mount for a home (static) environment. The shock and vibration in a trailer as it bounces down the horrible roads of CA are way more than you might imagine.

Mine is a simple flat plate of aluminium. No articulation of the TV.

I bought a mount which is easy to disconnect. I plan on taking the tv down and storing it in the original packaging when on the road, only mounting it when at the track. Haven't actually put the mount on the wall yet.

so you just bolted your TV to your plate, then into the wall? ship it

I'm installing a Master Mount 408L with the next week. It's an RV Mount with articulation. Only mounting a 15lb 32" LCD though.

I have used a simple VESA mount for a 32" monitor (old and heavy) without issue for a couple years. Bolted one side tot the wall with some reinforcement and then attached the monitor. It works great.

I use a simple, cheap mount. Drove 7500 miles this season so far and while other contents have shifted, the TV has not.
