- Wolfy850ExplorerThanks guys for all the input. I went with a 19" Insignia tv and a asus mount on sale. Will pick up a dvd player at some point. Love the sound coming thru the stereo speakers! Thanks again and Happy Trails...:)
- anutamiExplorer IIIKeep in mind if you have the stereo option you can run an aux cable to the stereo and get the TV sound to all 4 speakers in your 850. This works out great for us with one kid in the dinette, one kid in the bunk when watching a movie so all 4 of us aren't crammed in the cabover

I have an Insignia tv and a sony blu ray player. I have both running on 12v, just cut off the trsnsformer and wired to a cig plug
I like the mor ryde mounts but they are spendy. They have a great travel latch
I have the same exact set up. - WardsterExplorer

What model is the Sony Bluray player? I'd like to pick one up sometime for my TC - towproExplorerCheck amazon for just about every type mount with much better prices than any store that sells TVs
- MORSNOWNavigator III mounted a 24" flat screen TV from Costco on a Mor Ryde swivel mount up where the factory TV would mount. I added an additional piece of wood for backing and plenty of bolts to hold it solid on gravel roads. I also put a Blu Ray player in the cabinet and trimmed out a 1" hole for the cables to run between the two. I plan on adding an inverter so I can run everything on 12V this summer. So far the weather has always held out and I've spent my evenings by the fire enjoying a few cocktails so I've never actually used the TV. Hopefully my luck continues!
- jimh406Explorer IIII don't personally like the combo units. I'd rather have the best tv and best blu-ray with wifi and apps built in for my money. Pay attention to the speakers for whatever tv or combo you buy. Sometimes a few more dollars gives you much better sound.
My Host came with a 17 with articulating mount. The tv rotates 90 degrees and is held in place by velcro straps. I've since updated it to a larger tv because the original insignia died.
I also added an auxiliary tv that has a mount I made that hangs over the cabinet that is across from the dinette. DW or I couldn't see the one in the bedroom wall without sitting on the same side of the dinette. I use a long cables to reach from the main tv or move the source closer as needed.
It's a thin piece of aluminum that I bent to go over the cabinet. The cabinet is open at the top since it is on a slide. I then drilled holes and used screws to attach it to the metal and added some adhesive backed foam tape to it to protect the cabinet. DW created a bag and we store it in the cabinet using some small d rings and bungies to hold it up next to the wall. Sorry, I can't find the pictures. Oh well, I'll have to take more. - Steve_in_29ExplorerWe just use one of the portable players that have a built in screen. Since it's portable we can watch it in bed, at the dinette or even outside.
- Wolfy850ExplorerThanks Tom! Just added this Combo, tv and mounting arm to my list of options!
Happy Trails!
