The picture tube type analog tv that came in our signature rv was heavy and hard to handle.It was held in place on the bottom with a 5 inch deck screw in the front center of the tv which went directly into the plastic tv housing,accessed from the cabinet under the tv.
The top of the tv was also held in place with 2 deck screws directly screwed into the housing on each side accessed through the cabinet on top of the tv.
I replaced the oe tv with a nice Philips flat screen several years ago.
The TV in my Montana had four screws in it. After the original went out I replaced it, mounting it the same way. Pretty spooky screwing those screws into the tv, but it worked for years.
The base on our flat screen is about 6" deep x 12" wide, I drilled a 1/8th" hole in the center of the base 1" back from the front lip and secured it with a stainless 18-8 x 1.5" round head screw into the top of the tv compartment floor.
The tv sits about flush with the opening and the one screw mount allows us to turn the tv on its 6 rubber feet left/right or to get behind it for connections.
When traveling we drape straps over the screen on each side secured to the compartment floor and cabinet under the tv to keep it firmly in place... 4 years of bumpy roads and no problems.
