I have a 19" Anvil cradled between 2 metal brackets welded to the dash subframe on my 02 Fleetwood Terra. Nothing wider than 20" will fit without cutting brackets that support the dash. That rules out any modern tv.
I'm not fond of putting a tv overhead. It's a good spot but it would create a time sucking and brain twisting project I don't want right now. Besides, I wanna go large!
So I thought maybe I could slide a set between driver's (or passenger) chair and outside wall for travel then plop it up on the dash for viewing. LED tv's are fairly light (Samsung 32"-13.7lbs; 40"-26lbs; 46"-31 lbs) making them pretty easy to handle. Just need an apron so an open window during travel doesn't let it get rained on (details, details). An open cell foam base would let it travel without resting on the stand.
But where I plan on going they don't have many over the air tv signals . . . . and we shouldn't be cooped up inside watching tv anyway, so maybe not.
Just a thought.
