Hi guys and Merry Christmas.
I bought a 24 inch flat screen TV and a TV wall mount for RV installation from Camping World. Now I need to figure out where to mount it. I was thinking to mount it on the cabinet wall facing forward, right above the drivers seat.
First, there are a variety of mounts with arms that allow the TV to swivel around. Just be careful as some don't have sufficient mounting bolts (don't know why) and you'll have to get stronger bolts. The mounts have a locking mechanism to lock the TV flush to the wall.
Second, don't forget to plan for the power. When I upgraded our TV, I switched from 12v to 110 but was fortunate I had an outlet nearby.
Third, how are you going to wire for cable? Many campgrounds aren't wireless yet, so you have to route your RV's cable to the TV too.
Fourth, where are you going to put the Blu Ray/DVD player? Fortunately, they are very small these days, but they take up room. I'm still deciding on the final location of mine, so it sits on our bed while in use. They don't come ready-to-mount, so you've got to get creative.
We set up our TV to be viewed from the kitchen table. We turn the table into the bed and made a couple of tall wedge pillows to sit against so that the be becomes a couch. We do this on both our Bigfoot and our Northern-Lite Camper. works awesome.
Good luck!
Bill
