LCD TV hold down

[bill_ritchie]

Hi -
I'm replacing the older TV in my RV with a new LCD unit. It's built into the cabinets. Anyone have any recommendations on straps or some other product that will hold the TV in place while traveling? (a wall mount bracket won't work as the TV will be sitting on a shelf recessed into the cabinet). Camping World had something on their website. Anyone have any experience? Thanks.

We have a 21" that lies between 2 pillows and a 32" that lies face up on the bed covered by the bedding. Been traveling this way for years. Never a problem. Oh yeah, take down and set back up takes about 2 minutes each way. We can afford the time 🙂

We have nylon web straps that keep our two flat screens upright. Clips on the cabinet sides and the straps go around the top of the screens.

Lets see if I can explain what I did similar to your situation. I cut 3/4 plywood size of cabinet interior bottom and laid flat. Toward the back I put a second piece of ply vertical toward back of cabinet which I made strong with "L" shelf brackets. On the vertical ply I mounted a swivel LCD TV mount. The bottom edge of the TV is cushioned with pipe insulation foam tibeing. I then hooked a bungee across the front of TV for travel.It works great for my application as I can swivel it depending on where we are in the trailer. To tighten the posotioning knobs on the mount you need access to the back when TV is in place. It worked for me. There are many more clever than I. This is just one consideration

Use the stand that comes with it & drill a couple of holes in it & secure it to the cabinet bottom. Some stands already have holes for this purpose.

My 19" is mounted on the wall in the rear bedroom & I never have to remove it when traveling.

First thing that comes to mind: is there any way to put a couple of hooks on opposite sides and attach a bungee while traveling? Lot easier than disconnecting and reconnecting. Also cheap and effective, 2 of my favorite things.

Ours has always gone on the bed during travel, but it isnt in a cabinet. Its on a tv stand
