Anyone Installed a Bigger TV?

While we are out and active during the day, when it gets dark, we enjoy watching movies/shows. That said, we are planning on replacing the tv in our new Rockwood 2205S trailer, which we will pickup in a few weeks.

We know that you have to replace the wall mount and make the support wall bigger/stronger, but we would like to hear from anyone who has actually done it.

We will also be adding a sound bar too.

Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

    I put a 49 inch Smart Tv on a Televator ( Max can be 50) I built a box shaped much like an upright piano to hide the TV and keep it safe while traveling. Across from the TV in the slide out is a lovely FranklinBuilt Powered set of Theatre Seats. They run on 115 Volt wall worts (19v) so have their own small inverter tied into a 12 Volt source !

    It took a bit of farmyard ingenuity to wire everything up safely but all is well!
    It fun to see people’s expressions when I sit down and push the button that raises the TV from its cave .
