Re: Out with the CRT In with LED Flat Screen

Couldn't give that thing away! I like how you mounted that new TV in there. We have had thoughts about that but were unsure how to mount the bracket. I lucked out and found a hobbyist that is into e-recycling and took ours. Let me know if you have any questions about how I did mine. Maiden voyage coming up this weekend :)355Views0likes0CommentsRe: Out with the CRT In with LED Flat Screen

I was not expecting it to be DC, but was surprised when I saw the transformer cable. I custom built the mounting arm, but the TV has the standard features to mount an off-the-shelf arm. However, this is a Samsung and uses larger bolts than most 32" TVs. If you were to buy a mounting arm, you would have to go for one that is made for 37"+.355Views0likes0CommentsRe: Out with the CRT In with LED Flat Screen

Took a while to justify the price for a new tv given how little it gets used. The price finally dropped low enough for us to justify it. Also having a 3-week trip coming up this summer didn't hurt.355Views0likes0CommentsOut with the CRT In with LED Flat Screen
I finally got rid of the 27" Tube TV that came in our Granite Ridge. That thing was HEAVY! I mounted a 32" LED TV in its place, which is much lighter and also made room for storage behind it. In order to access all the space behind the TV, I mounted it to a sliding ball bearing mechanism that I built: Very Happy with how it all turned out!2.4KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Your Favorite Boondocking Pics

Did a thorough interior cleaning. Also removed the 27" TV to free up some counter space for the next trip (boondocking). I must have added ~50lbs to the CCC by doing that as well. It would be nice to replace it with an LCD, but I cannot justify it as most of our trips do not include hookups. Besides, getting away from TV is part of the vacation IMO.383Views0likes0Comments
