pimping an rv with an indoor projector

Hi All

Thanks for that.

We dont have a TV at home and like to watch an evening movie indoors when at home. A glass of wine/beer and a nice movie in the rv is what we have in mind.

The unit we are likely getting is a 23P from four winds. no slide out. Similar to below.


Where would you put the pj and a pull down screen? We are thinking opposite the sofa..

Any installation places anyone could recommend on West Coast of Washington/Oregon?
Alternatively, we could get one of these... little installation needed by looks of it.

Now that sounds like fun! Wish we were there.

We take our projector with us, along with a king size white sheet. Movie nights are every Friday night at the campground where we camp host. It's usually a Disney or Pixar flick since you can pretty much count on those being acceptable for most everyone. It's bring your own chair, popcorn and drink. We provide the entertainment.

And an RV is a pretty much non-stop bumps and vibrations when you are traveling down the road....not very good for a bulb:(
And worse for an expensive bulb:S

I am considering installing a projector in an RV (when I buy it!) - has anyone done that and how did it go. Apologies if someones already described it but my searching skills are lacking. I have seen projectors available cheapy on woot etc and feel that the weight of a screen will be much less than that of a large LCD screen when driving around - for that big screen experience.

In an rv or outside of an rv?

We've done that before for watching football games. Just something to keep in mind about the projectors, they may be pretty cheap but buying the bulbs is the big expense. I would be checking the prices of the replacement bulbs before investing in a projector.

They do work, but viewing during the day is a real issue as the picture gets washed out by the bright light (even indirect). The only time I have seen what I consider to be good projection TV was at night and then it's pretty cool.
