jim, you didn't list your model but I just bought a 86fb which has the wet bath next to the wall where the tv prewire is located that is why I opted for the dealer install..they screw it up they have to fix it(they didn't). since then I have found that the Jensen tv is just as good as what I have in the house and the dvd connection is through the radio. whichever u choose just watch the length of the screws if you cannot use bolts and nuts, and don't forget the antenna that is just as important.
The TC is an 86SBS and the mount would go on the common wall between the cabover and the bath. So it is my intention to have the dealer install the mount. I got a rather strange reply when I asked if they could get the mount and install it. They re-iterated a sales pitch that the TV and mount came together and that the TV was a marine TV. Bla Bla … I didn't ask them that, I asked then for (a) pricing to install a mount and (b) pricing for something other then what the factory offered.
I don't want to install the mount my self for the same reasons you stated, but I am not going to pay what they would want for the factory TV. I'm pretty sure I can get the same mount that the factory uses and my just go to my local RV repair shop and have them install it.
