    What TV Do You Have in the Bedroom?

    Just curious what y'all use for a wall-mounted TV in the bedroom of your campers. We'd like to get one with a built-in DVD and/or Blu-Ray player. What size seems best for watching the occasional movie in bed?

    Thanks.

    Our trailer came from the factory with a TCL in the bedroom, same brand as the one in the main cabin. I'll *guess* that it's about 30" but might be smaller.

    It's been a long time since I saw a TV with a disk player included in it, but my prejudice from those I have seen in the past is that you'll be sacrificing quality in TV and/or player to get that minor convenience.

    There are really tiny players around - Sony makes a wee little Blu-ray player costing well under $100. I'd get a decent TV and Blu-ray player and I'd find a way (Velcro, maybe) to attach the Blu-ray player up with the TV.

    I went to mount a TV in our 2020 303RLS and did some exploring where the TV MOUNT sticker was placed and could not find any backer behind the 1/8"~ wall board. My servicing dealer told me Grand Design said to use metal expanding captures.

    Has this been everyone else's experience?

    The backing is a metal plate, I used magnet to outline.

    Thanks for the info, but when I drilled the only thing behind the wall board was fiberglass insulation. I ended up using 4 metal expanding captures and permanent double sided tape. The wall will break before the mount comes off. We only mount the TV when we are parked, comes off the mount during travel.

    We also wanted a TV/DVD combo for our bedroom and found one on WalMart.com. I think it is about a 19" and it has a regular DVD player built in. Just around $100. Not a name brand but hey, it works fine especially for a bedroom. I used a magnet and tape to outline the steel mounting plate behind the wall. By the way, it isn't very thick so careful fastener selection is important.

    In our 303 I used a magnet to find the backer plate, got a wall bracket from Home Depot (used 3/4" #12 or 14 screws) to mount a 17" TV. Now that we have a 337, I put the stand back on the TV and set it on the dresser, for travel we just lay it on the bed. . . . .

    My 2020 Reflection 315rlts had a wood backer behind the finished wall. I think it was 1/8 thick. Used 3/8 x 1.5 inch lags for the bracket to wall. Holding a 22 inch TV no problem. Wish I could have gone to 28 inch TV, but was about half inch shy on the width between door handles. Click image for larger version.
