Spin off: take LCD TV off wall when traveling?

[Bank_of_Dad]

My new TT came with the TV mounted to the wall and held back with a bungee cord. What do you folks do, leave it up or take it down?

Mine is made to dismount and move outside if needed. I take it down just to be safe. It's easy and take seconds.

Thanks for the arm recommendation!

I found a mount on Amazon that I've used in my house, office and now travel trailer that allows me to simply unscrew one bolt and the plate comes off the arm and I can put the TV in the bed or whatever.

Here's a link to it - I've been happy with it. Here is a link on Amazon

Low end? The TV's are built for RV's and Marine applications so most "engineers and technicians" don't have a lot of contact with them. Most boating folks I know just throw them away if they fail and buy a new one.

My mounting bracket has set screws. I just tighten them so the whole thing doesn't move while underway. Works well.

Even on the backroads, we leave ours up. We just tuck a pillow behind it.

Is it a JensenTV? If yes, just leave it on the wall and secure it! They're made extra tough for jiggles and jolts.

We leave ours on the mounting. Probably more secure than taking it down and figuring out a better way to stow it for travel.
