Outside TV Mount

I have seen and read many different options to mount a tv on the outside of your RV. However we spent the last couple of days at the Hershey show and came across a solution that requires no holes in the side of your unit. Thought it was a bit pricy,but most good products / ideas usually are. We bit the bullet and bought one and absolutely love it. Check it out if you get a chance at gostikproducts.com
  • Neat product, thanks for sharing. I do agree it's pricey. More than what we spent on our outdoor TV for sure. I like the fan holder, but it's even $129. And $49 for a towel holder...lmao No thanks....
  • While the suction cup or chair mount both seem to work fine, you still have to pack up the TV and mount each time you move.

    My Newmar had a 4" space in the water compartment, so I use an ultra-thin full-motion mount for a 32" TV. My install is near the bottom of this page.

    When we're ready to leave, I just turn off the TV and close the compartment door:

    TV will fall IMO over time. Hot weather? Colder weather? Click here for video.

    Then we can setup our bedroom TV outside sitting on a folding table or something simple.

    This makes us always bring the TV back inside or sit it inside the

    storage bay when we walk away from the trailer...

    Yup. I put TV on the ouside folding table. I keep toaster oven and coffe pot out there. TV fits to the right...

    At night I unplug it and bring it in..

    Cost??? Free!!!!
  • Whatching the videos it gave 2 different warnings. 1) wait 10 minutes before mounting anything on the suction cups. 2) check often to make sure no suction is being lost after mounting your device. (and 3, mount on no porous surface).

    After having those stick on-suction cups for the windshield of an automobile to hold various devices (like Tom-Tom, and things like that), I don't think I'd ever take a chance on something like this supporting a $300 or more television. I can see it crashing to the ground!

    The concept is nice but I'll just stick to a very proven way with a 50 foot coax cable. Besides, if you REALLY enjoy watching television outside, sun glare is always a problem. When we watch outside, the television and the quick shades and the chairs get moved around all the time so the screen is not in sun glare.
