Dynamic Master Page with access to variables in both masters

I have two master pages , one is for Desktop and the other is for Mobile , and depends on the device I use dynamically either the Desktop or the Mobile master page. But I can't access the variables from the child ASPX page in the master pages.

The ASPX Code behind : 

protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
{
    if (Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice)
    {
        this.MasterPageFile = "MobileMasterPage.master";
    }
    else
    {
        this.MasterPageFile = "MasterPageDesktop.master";
    }           
}

And in both master pages there are the variables 

public int TinyMceWidth { get; set; }
public int TinyMceHeight { get; set; }

But I can't access those two variables from the code behind of the ASPX : 

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{            
    Master.TinyMceWidth = 1000; // Can't access 
    Master.TinyMceHeight = 1000; // Can't access    
}

How can I fix it ?

You can acess it like this.

var master = (Site1)Page.Master;
master.TinyMceWidth = 1000;

Site1 is the class name of the Master Page

public partial class Site1 : System.Web.UI.MasterPage
{
}

So because you have 2 masters, you will need to create 2 variables for them

var masterMobile = (Site2)Page.Master;
