We have 97 34V Bounder and I upgraded to flat screen TV's. I removed old TV's and cut a piece of plywood to back of frame. Drilled hole for cables to pass through. Installed a strong tilt mount in front and a sturdy swivel mount in bed room. Also bought 2 ntlon straps to secure while traveli g for safety. Good luck and was an EZ project.

Look in the WALMART TV SECTION. They have a big assortment of the TV swing out MOUNTS you are referring to that fits the four screws behind the TV monitors... The new TV's are lite-weight now with LCD screens etc...

This may bring up a question for you about leaving the HDTV sets in the trailer when the WX is below freezing... My trailer is a POPUP trailer so I bring mine in but alot of folks leave their's in the big trailers - They say to warm up the trailer first before turning one on... I guess they worry about the LCD screen possibly cracking ???

Get one of those hotel wall mounts. Best Buy has them. Anchor it inside the cabinet and just push the TV against the cabinet frame when traveling. A little velcro will hold it there. Don't be surprised if the mount costs more than the TV.

I got rid of my overhead headbanger TV and put it into a cabinet behind the pax seat with a televator across from the couch. Used the wood from the lamp table that was there to rebuild the corner cabinet. This way you don't have to crane your neck to watch TV.

Many LED TVs are so thin and light that you can mount them on the face of the cabinet, not inside it. You can search for my DIY installation using a TV with two feet...installed hinges where the feet went.
Here is my DIY with storage behind it.
