Swivel mount tv

Hello
I have a 40 ft diesel motorhome that i want to mount a swivel 40 inch tv . Do you think it will vibrate to much above my head or do I put a solid mount. Thankyou for any help Kenny

  • I used this very sturdy mount. While traveling, I put a strap across the front that velcros on to itself. It works very well.

    OllO MOUNTS: 30-46" Swivel / Tilt Universal TV Wall mount bracket * FREE HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLE + FREE 6" TORPEDO LEVEL * SHOCK ABSORBING TECHNOLOGY * FINGER TOUCH MEMORY TILT * PATENTED ARM LOCKING MECHANISM * LCD, Plasma, LED (44N)
  • Depends on the swivel mount and what there is in you coach to mount it to!
  • I just installed a 39"LED in the front that swivels up and down, and side to side, it's a good mount that I got from Fry's. We just came back from 8 weeks on the road and found it moved too much during travel. I tightened the bolts so it wouldn't move. The end result is that the cabinet puts it in the best position / angle for viewing and really don't need it to move around after all.
  • People have posted photos on here of swivel mounts they have put in for their overhead TV's. Most have used some type of bungee or strap system to make sure it's secure while on the road. The new LED TV's can be very light. I recently bought one for my house and when I first picked the box up I thought it was empty. I couldn't believe how light they make them now.
  • A swivel mount is not a problem, all swivel mounts however are not created equal.....you need a very high quality heavy duty mount, preferably one that is designed to lock down for travel mode. You also must mount it securely to framing...
