Decided that since my Lance 865 came with a TV antenna with built in signal booster I'd put a TV in. I found a 19" wide screen at Best buy on sale for $99 and then bought an aluminum swing mount at a local RV dealer ($69 with the Good Sam discount!!). The wall mount didn't fit the screw arrangement the Lance factory installed so I had to drill new holes in the wall plate and countersink the holes. Got the TV in then did a direct wire to the battery so I could use a small solar panel I had on hand to keep the battery topped off. Both are working great.
The TV bracket is a locking type but unfortunately the 19" TV hits the side wall before the lock will engage so I'm going to find a way to secure it during travel. It would probably be OK but why take a chance.
