Outside TV

On my previous coaches I ran a coax to a bay and carried a flatscreen TV in the bay. I could set it on a picnic table or one of my own tables. I have one factory installed now and my flexibility is limited with respect to moving it around. I would seriously consider not mounting it.

This is what I do and I'm glad I did this versus trying to mount it. The new LED TV's are very light now. You can carry a 32" one with one hand. I have a 50' coax and a 50' extension cord and I can set the TV up anyplace in camp I want. If you mount it then you're limited to just viewing it where you mounted it. Sometimes you may want it in different spots. We camp with groups a lot so it's nice to be able to bring the TV out to center of camp. Last time I used it was during the World Series to watch the Giants win. Only problem with that was we ended up with about 30 people from the neighboring campsites watching our TV!

I have read good reviews on this so i am going to try this this summer,Its wireless HDMI so I can set a TV on a table next to RV or stick a TV on a Picnic table under a Pop up Canopy

Excellent advice. Do you have any pics of your old set up?

At shows I saw a lot of TT's with a bracket on the outside wall. Pretty small and barely noticeable but it allows you to take a tv and slide it on the mount. My bedroom TV is on such a mount already, so if I wanted I could take it off that bracket and put on an exterior bracket of the same kind if I wanted to.

Saw This one posted awhile ago

"126crosby"......I think "Ivylog" has given you the best solution for an outside TV. Typically, when they add a TV to the outside of a coach at the factory, there is some space stolen from the inside of the coach. The fiberglass work and repaint would be very expensive.

The system shown in the pictures by "Ivylog" works well. If for some reason you want the TV higher or in another spot, have a nice custom (unobtrusive) mount designed where you could hang the TV on the coach exterior wall.

Took me awhile to figure out how to get a bigger TV than the opening of my bay... probably the same as your 02 Windsor. Once you slide it back, the bay door shades the TV.


As you can see here, the opening is not as tall as the door.

I really can weld better than these but galvanized iron is hard to weld. None have broken in 40K miles.

You could do something like this for a lot less than $10k...

I asked Winnebago about about doing one on the outside of ours like they do new ones and for 42" they said 10k
