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

    WHat size is OEM TV?

    What size are you wanting to replace it with?

    Many TVs use same mounting
    And many of the new TVs are very light weight.

    We had a 25" analog HEAVY TV in a cabinet. Took it out...made a cabinet door (huge storage area)
    I installed a 32" Vizio on the face of cabinet door
    That was in 2008 and still works fine.....no mounting issues etc

    Check out the weight on the TV you want to use....not real heavy so doubt if you would have to do anything but swap TVs

    Sound bars are not heavy items either....if mounting holes don't line uup with any wall 'studs' just use 'toggle bolts'
