We replaced the arm that originally came with our Escape. This is mounted on the fridge panel side of our 17B. We had plywood backing installed during our build on both sides of the cabinet as we knew we would probably mount stuff on both sides. The original bracket was grey - I wanted black to match the rest of my decor choices. We had a larger TV initially but my husband prefers this smaller one especially as it folds neatly out of the way - doesn't jut out when stored.
