I have a '99 Four Winds / Thor Infinity that has the TV in the dash.
What I did was pull out the old TV and then used a small sawzall to trim the front of the plastic cover so the flat screen would set vertical against the dash. Then used a lockable position wall mount. I drilled the holes to mount into the engine cover (with a 3" x 6" backing plate)and mounted the TV.And used the old TV strap to hold the top in place.(felt that more tie down points couldn't hurt)
The reason I did not put the TV in the overhead bin/ceiling is that I have seen several that there wasn't enough support in the overhead structure to support the weight of a large flatscreen and when the mounts failed tore the hell out of the overhead or ceiling, not to mention what the end result to the TV was.
Hope this helps.
