I want to put a tv in my trailer. Just a wall mount type. Has anyone installed thier own. I want to get an LCD type but I want to be able to see it from the bed area and dinette. Maybe one that you can turn . Any suggestions? TIA

I have a swing out arm (Computer monitor stand) that I mounted my 17" flat panel on. So far looks great, but I haven't used the trailer with it yet- I just installed it last weekend.We are still trying to figure out if we are going this weekend or not (and if we do, we may do a day trip with the BP trailer to save on gas).Check out PC monitor stands- mine was only $79 from www.tigerdirect.com. Can mount on a wall or a flat surface like a counter top or desk.

There are mounts by Peerless and Omni-Mount that will work for a wall mount. It will let the flat panel swivel to be seen in more than one location. You will need to be sure that the wall mount that you choose has a locking device so the TV will be secure in transit.

I have the Omni mount wall mount on a 20" LCD/DVD combo TV. The setup works great ,except that I have to make sure and bungee cord the tv against the wall when traveling.I drilled and tapped one of the aluminum structural members behind the wall board to mount the bracket to, so it is plenty strong. It will also flex side to side and up and down so we can watch TV in bed or down in our dining area. I'll try to post a picture for you tomorrow. Our old TV was a 15" tube style on a pivoting slide bracket, this is a vast improvement.
