Bedroom tv mounting options?

[Kunuc1]

Just curious how people mounted their bedroom tv in Reflection 29rs or 27rl. Did you use a swing arm bracket or a fixed mount as the viewing angle & space provided creates some challenges. What size tv were u able to accommodate? Any Pics??? Thanks

We are getting the 29rs so I will be watching this to see responses. Not a lot of room on that wall, so haven't decided on tv or no tv there

I noticed too that mounting a tv will be a challenge, because of the sliding door to the bathroon. Hope we get some good suggestions!

Craig Jacobson posted a great photo on the fb page of his mounted bedroom tv. (28" tv) Just wondering if this type of mount could be secured for travel & not have to be taken down each time before hitting the road?

I'm not so sure I'd trust that to hold a 28" tv while bouncing down the road. We have this one, a little pricy but will hold the tv much more secure

Thanks WhittleBurner.
I just purchased the Morryde tv mount u gave the link to. It reviewed VERY high! Love that it locks the swing arm to the wall for traveling.

How big of a tv did you mount, and where?

Thanks!!!

We have a 23" TV mounted between the bedroom door and window on the door side of the trailer. We're in a 303 . It just fits without the door hitting it.
Use a magnet to find the metal plate in the wall if it's not marked with a sticker. That will find the edges and you can mount anyplace in the plate.

We have an extra 32 in tv, was thinking about installing it, probably to big??????????????? Wish there was a better spot to mount it.

I checked with GD & they said a 29"-32" tv would fit in space provided. The mounting bracket just needs to be fairly sturdy to support the 9.5 lbs of the 32" LED tv. I liked the locking feature for travel that the MoRryde tv1-025 bracket offered as mentioned by WhittleBurner in a previous post.

We also have the MOR/ryde TV1025H Double Arm Swivel TV Wall Mount installed in our 27RL. Works great. It fits well above the window, and holds the TV securely while traveling down the road. It easily folds up and out of the way. We currently have a 19", and are looking to upgrade to a 23" or 24" Vizio, which has speakers in the front. The only suggestion I have is to install a TV with a wide viewing angle to avoid distortion of the picture. We purchased ours on ebay at a very good price.

Have you noticed that the price of the mounts are almost as much as the price of some televisions?

I found the following incredible website selling television mounts very reasonably--Monoprice.com

 

[Kunuc1]

Yes!!!! Some serious mark up in tv mounts.

What type and size screws did you use to mount it to the wall? Did you have to drill a pilot hole first?

 

[RoadDog66]

Anyone have install pics? Of your bracket location and hardware used?

The location for ours is a side wall next to the bed so would prefer an articulating mount, but not sure the wall could handle the weight.

 

[WhittleBurner]

I have no install pics , sorry. There should have been a sticker on the wall indicating the tv mount area. There is a steel plate inside the wall, a strong magnet will help you find the plate boundries. The mount mentioned above is a very good sturdy tv mount. We used the screws that came with the mount. It was supplied with both wood and metal screws.

Be very careful to not drill through your walls to the outside while drilling the pilot holes. A simple piece of tape on the bit marking how deep is a great help.

Roaddog--Here is a picture of our mount.....I am not certain but beleive the location in your 30BH may be the same. We use a 24" LED TV/DVD combo and simply lift it off the mount when traveling and place it back in the box under the bed. This was dealer installed.

Novel idea, I'm looking at projectors and connecting it to a cable VCR. Some projectors are small enough to fit on shelf above bed. The VCR could be hung vertically on the wall. Still working on cables between the two - maybe weasel them toward the vent, then toward the front(?).
