Replacing Old TV
I have a 15 year old Everest FW with an old style TV. I'm thinking about replacing the TV and DVD player with a flat screen and Blue Ray. The TV is currently mounted in a large opening in a cabinet....

We just purchased a 32 inch LG flat screen for a replacement for the original television that came with the camper when new. The new television can't more than 10 pounds (if that much).
Our original was mounted into a rack that lifted up and down from the top of a floor cabinet. I removed it and put a flat hook mount (removable) on the back of the television, and mounted the wall part on the frame that moves up and down.
Now, we can remove the television completely and lay it on the bed when traveling so it won't bounce so much. It just hooks on the frame and done! (plug it in of course). It's so light weight, it's extremely easy to move around. I feel lot better with it not bouncing around at the end of a 35 foot trailer!
We ended up getting a sound bar for it too. I couldn't tap into the original sound system - radio, so just got a sound bar. WORKS FABULOUS!
What's even nicer, the television can easily be lifted off and taken outside if we want to, brought in the house in the winter if we want to, or easily move it around.
It's the best of all worlds now.
My plan is to replace the surround sound with a sound bar. I priced a replacement for the receiver with the integrated surround sound and blu ray and it was ridiculous. I'm just going to use the sound bar and a blu ray player. The total cost of the swap will be less than $500.
