External TV

[heathaction]

Has anyone attempted to install a TV mounting bracket along with coax and power to the outside of a 2800bh? If so, pics would be awesome.

I was thinking to do this also. Haven't looked much into it yet though. Maybe this Spring I will dig farther into it. Any great Ideas on how to do this?

Thanks

There's no mounting bracket, but in the water station there is a coax and plug for a tv. It's on the wrong side if you ask me, but it's there.

I have a Reflection 308 looking to mount a tv in the awning side front storage compartment there is an electric outlet in there and just have to run the cable from the other side. Looking to mount the tv on a articulating arm fastened to the aluminum studs in that compartment so it can swing out to the opening but probably will let it right inside the door opening so the sun and glare don't make it unwatchable. Not sure if the imagine line has the same storage options.?

In he 2800 all the hookups are on the driver's side for some reason. Better than nothing though.

It wouldnt take much to run them to the other side and use fasteners to make it look good

I'm thinking that WIFI may be a good way to do an outside TV, that way it could be moved around. Many DVRs (e.g. TIVO) and other gizzes (e.g. SLING box) will pipe signal through wifi - so then you just need to plug it in - could then also be used in the bedroom. You will need a router but not an internet connection.

Wifi is a good idea, I use tivo dvrs at home with a tivo stream for out of home viewing.

Another option is IOGEAR wireless HDMI transmitter. I use these at work to retrofit old conference rooms. They work great.

I have a 2800BH and was looking at the same thing. However, if I'm watching TV outside, I think the speakers that are mounted outside should play too.

Im thinking if I run a HDMI cable from the reciever, to the TV (outside) that should take care of it. Then I just select my reciever to zone 2. I think it would work ? May still have to run a coax for the cable, but maybe not. I Will let you know what I find out.

In the 2670MK it was easy since the inside TV (pop up) is next to the door - we had the dealer add a bracket and coax jack for the exterior just tapped off the interior TV and punched thru the wall.

Unbelievable that this had to be added when the 2670 has an outdoor kitchen. My first TT - 2013 Tracer 230 FBS had the outdoor TV and were hooked.

I have a 2800BH and plan on installing a TV bracket on the rear wall of the right side pass-through storage area. I am going to use a hinged arm that will twist and extend outside. The power and cable are simple enough to route from the left side of the pass-through area. I put a 32" TV and hinged racket in the bedroom; I will move that TV to the outside bracket when desired. I have taken all the measurements and there is sufficient space.

Greetings, We are looking at doing something similar, though I am thinking of mounting ours by the outside kitchen and just using an external antenna for now. If we put it in the pass-through, it would not be protected by the awning. What mounts are you looking at that allow the TV to be moved?

Interesting idea. I also have a 2670MK. Possible to send picts? In sharing regarding A/V, I updated my sound system replacing my interior ceiling speakers with 6 1/2" Infinity Kappa speakers that fit right into the ceiling holes along with a flat cased type subwoofer with a remote volume knob. Sub is mounted to the floor in the TV compartment, extreme left side when looking at the TV from inside. Remote volume knob VHB taped to the top of the cubby where the coax and electrical connectors are located, along with my Sony halfrack BluRay player, also VHB taped down. Wired the sub into the 12v wiring now shared with the telescoping motor for the TV. No fuse popping at full volume. Kept the same Jensen head unit as it puts out enough watts to accommodate RV living. Completely changed the audio experience. Now looking to install an articulating or slide out bracket for exterior TV. Will probably go with a blue toothed remote audio system for enhancement. Still trying to figure out with those little round protrusions that light up blue when the sound system are...
