Adding removeable exterior TV

My MH did not come with an exterior TV. At a show recently I saw on quite a few TT's a mounting bracket on the outside. Basically a setup where you can take an interior TV, slide it up out of a bracket and slide it into a braket on the outside of the RV. Assuming I can run 110 and cable (or use the outside 110 outlets) anyone done this? Anyone know of a good bracket to use that can slide in and out easily?

    If you need it to tilt or need it further from the mounting surface you might want something like this.

    One half mounts to the wall, the other to the back of the TV. Then, the TV slides down into the mount. Works well for us. TV can then be removed at anytime with out any hassle. If there is any negative to this type of mount, it would be that you need enough headroom to lift the TV up and in or out of the bracket. That wasn't an issue for our setup. This is also a good mount if you don't have a lot of depth to work with. We use a slimline style of flatscreen TV. Combined with this mount, the required depth clearance is minimal.

    That looks like exactly what I need. Found it on AMZ here a little cheaper. AMZ mounting

  • I think this is the type that you need for an exterior mount. This has the "lift and lock" type of TV mounting so that you do not have to undo a bunch of screws each time you move the TV. It also swivels and tilts which you will probably need on an outside TV. TV Mounting bracket
