Any information on the mount (brand, at least)? It looks like a big improvement over the one in our 179.

It's a rocketfish.

Could not find the exact model number written on it, but It's identical to the RF-TVMFM01 (https://www.rocketfishproducts.com/pdp/RF-TVMFM01/1065552)

It is held to the wall with only two screws?

Yup... I'm keeping an eye on the mount to kame sure that it is securely on the wall everytime we stop...

I looked on the Rocketfish site. It looks like it uses 2 lag bolts. While they are strong, they are only as good as the wood into which they are screwed. With the six screws on the old style mount, there is some additional redundancy.
