Flat screen televisions can be put on really flexible pivoting/up-down mounting brackets nowadays. Good brackets aren't cheap, but good ones are very rugged and versatile.
Perhaps by using one of these on your TV you could see it from a whole bunch of new places inside your RV such that no floor plan changes would be required.
Actually, if you shop around, they are not really expensive.

And your right. sometimes the simplier solution is pulling a couple vents or light fixtures loose and re-running the TV antenna wire to a new location to mount the TV. Just be sure that you have something solid to mount to. Some install a backer board that they stain to make it look nice and to secure to a bigger surface area, some remove a panel and build up support behind the wall. If it's a bigger TV, you want to support it so the stresses of rolling down the highway are not too much for the mounting hardware. Another option is a mount that you can remove the TV for traveling and rehang once your setup.
I have three TVs. The camper came with a 18 inch bedroom TV and a 23 inch living room TV both of which are mounted on a wall swivel mount. I also have a 38 inch TV that I keep stowed in the closet. If I am going to be in one place for more than 2 days I take out the 38 inch set an place it on a counter top. The 38 incher is only 30 pounds but it is too bulky to mount it premaritally, it is easier to stick it in the closet with some padding to prevent damage while traveling. There is enough room to place the recliners directly in front of the couch and if there are people sitting on the couchI can place the recliners on either side of the couch an I will still almost have a straight on view of the TV.
