Mounting 32" LCD TV

Welcome to RV.net. And you're from Santa Cruz! CA? The beautiful Santa Cruz with the Amusement Park and the Crows Nest Restaurant? Love that place!

I mounted our first flat panel, a 26", to the forward inboard corner of the driver side cabinets. Used a folding wall mount from Amazon, about $20, Video Secu brand. Didn't trust screws so I through bolted it. Attached a small bungee cord to the cabover window frame and it holds the TV from swinging around underway. Just replaced 26" with 32" and found it still clears the cabinet to get into viewing position.

How were you mounting your TV that it's cracking? There's a VESA pattern of four threaded inserts on the back, for metric mounting screws. Did you use that or something else?

When I replaced our 27" with a 32" led, I used the base that came with the TV for it to sit on. I had to cut the front edge off, then drilled tow holes in the back part for mounting screws. A couple of straps across the back to steady it, and it has ridden there for about 5 years with no problem. Back then, tvs only had a single mount in the center, many now have legs on each side, which might create other problems. However, if you can get the weight on the installed legs, it will be a lot better.

I use a tilting swivel mount and it rests on a cushioned shelf held by a bungee cord while traveling.
