Changing analog TV to digital flatscreen

There is nothing that requires you to mount the new lighter and thinner TV where the old big and heavy TV was. I have a Class C and I decided to mount the new LED TV on the wall between the cab and the coach. That is a much more substantial wall than the other walls.

So now the old cabinet is some nice storage space and the TV is in a better place for viewing.

I ordered my bracket from Walmart.com and did direct to store free pickup... Saved shipping costs. and I was ordering from a company that I knew who they were. Reasonable costs and lots of options... Prices online were much less that the few they had in the store.

Wayfair.com has a very large selection of mounts. I ordered one from them and was very happy with the mount and fast delivery.

to insert a picture, use the app shown in the sticky. Just in case, here it is for you:

picture upload

Drag you picture into the block, wait for upload to complete. Then there will be a image address in the address block. Copy this address, then paste it into your posting. DO NOT use in image tab! The address will have "/img" before and after it. use it exactly as copied. Try it, it will work!

Like other said, you're going to have to do some modification and use the type of mount that is most suitable. You're going from a deep hole that is designed to hold a very deep TV to a type of setup that uses a flat TV with very little depth. I would probably go with some sort of swing out mount fastened to a built-out area. Most of the newer generation flatscreens are very light so this gives you a lot of options.

Decisions! decisions! decisions! I have 3 months down here in Yuma before I head home so I will be looking for solution. I want to thank everyone who have offered advice. Much appreciated.

To post pix is simple
You cannot upload to this forum
You upload pictures to a photo hosting site
I use photobucket,
After you load your pictures to the free hosting, you get the photo link from the hosting site and put that link in your post
With photo bucket, when you hover cursor over one of your pictures, a button for "share" , will show up, clicking this button will bring up 4 links, for email Facebook etc..
The "direct" link is the one to use
Just copy that link and paste it into your post

It's a lot easier than it sounds

I used ceiling mount and installed it upside down in the cabinet where the old tv was at. I can still use the pull out shelf and use the storage space behind the flat screen I installed a 40 inch that just fits the cabinet outside trim this is in a 38 ckqs Cedar Creek

what I did was I attached a piece of 3/4 inch plywood to the framing behind the existing t.v. and the mounted the television bracket to the plywood. A word of caution is to use a stud finder to find the underlying framing members to attach the plywood to. This has worked fine for me. You may need to add horizontal framing to the existing framing to be able to bring the t.v. forward enough to look like it belongs there.

When I replaced ours, it was a big old 27" anchor, so the cabinet was plenty big. A 32" diagonal is a good fit for ours. In the 30' rig, that is as big as needed.
