Use hitch for TV holder

Hello all. Has any one used there hitch receiver to mount there tv outside. Saw very little on the web. Was wondering if anyone had created anything that would allow you to use the hitch. One idea I had was to use a flag pole mount and create a moving piece that the tv could mount to using a wall mount. I have a 32 in. tv that is not very heavy and thought it would be nice to use the hitch and rotate the tv around the corner. Thank you for any ideas.

    It is. That was an old Black and White rerun of "Dead or Alive" from the very early 1960's on MeTV.

    I have seen many plans for using the Hitch Receiver for other things.

    I have, in my basement, either an 11" or a 13" Drop/rise hitch adapter, This takes a standard ball (I think I have one that is a drop /rise receiver as well) both are common items (though special order) at RV dealers or Hitch World.

    Of course you can get smaller ones (Say 8" or 4") Get one that is designed to take a Ball though, not a receivewr.

    Now get a carraige bolt, of teh same size as teh hole in the thing, about 3" long, with nut.

    Drill out a plywood slab to that same size, (Center drill
    Add washer adn bolt, bolt to hitch. You now have a "Table"

    That easy.
  • my thing is.. viewing the TV in the Sun.

    most LED types are not very bright outside.

    a metal plate. a spare ball. TV mount. done. the ball angle might have an issue. as the weight of TV/plate may rotate TV downward.
