Where to mount a TV?

Before this turns into "I don't need a TV, I'm camping!" versus "I can't go without a TV" thread... I'm just looking for some advice from others on what solutions they have done in their camper.

Our Bigfoot Camper's default TV cabinet was repurposed as another storage cabinet. It wasn't really a good fit anyway since it was designed for a small CRT boob tube and with modern LCDs would have been a waste of space. We have had the camper for nearly 5 years now without a TV so it isn't something we have missed much to say the least. If we want to watch something we typically just use our phones but that can get uncomfortable if you are sharing a movie with two people.

With the possibility of doing more road trips then camping I've been thinking it might be nice to have something a little more hands free. About the only place I can see to put a screen is if it is a ceiling mounted flip down screen in the overhead bed area. The thing is, it has to be very low profile to work effectively and not be in the way.

Any suggestions on products or pictures to show how you have placed a TV in your camper without it being in the way?

Two options:

1) Laptop. When the SO and I want to watch in bed, my 15" laptop is plenty big if placed between us in the bed.

2) small projector. Yep, we just project on a wall or a sheet, and pipe the sound into the TC audio. The kids loved it. I put a few hooks into the ceiling and stretched a bungie cord between them. The projector is 2.2lbs, 2"x8"x6", so just strapped it in and loaded the DVD/netflix/etc on the lappie.

The projector comes in handy for external film nights, and folks can listen via headphones if desired. Awesome on dark nights in BLM spaces without any lights or neighbors. The projector is 1500 lumen, so nicely bright.

My TC has two tvs. One mounted on a reticulating bracket in the bedroom. The other slide over the top of a front cabinet with a removable mount that stores on the TV. We added the one in the front to use when we are at the dinette since only one side of the dinette can see a TV mounted in the bed area.
