TV mounting in my Montana

[Ozz]

I got a P/M asking about ideas on mounting the flat screen TV's, I thought I would post what I did and it may help others, what I did was a little overboard, as with most of the 'Rube Goldburg' things I do, but bits and pieces of it may help.
Also others can chime in on their mods of the flat screen installs, I have seen many good ones here.
I suggest getting the atriculating arm from Amazon, they have good choices and reasonable pricing.

That looks like a lot of work

Only because it was..

Not sure I'd call it a Rube Goldberg since you don't have enough wasted stuff sticking around or out, but it's definitely very well thought out and engineered (aka, "a lot of work". I like the way your photograph things as you go.

One of these days when I get rid of the heavy, ancient glass tubes in my rig, I'll have to work on something simpler since I am not as technically inclined (no welding, no torching, no riveting). I'm strictly a cut and screwdrive kind of guy.

Thanks Art. There are many simpler ways of doing it, but I wanted room for a printer, paper and other 'stuff' behind there.
I think Michael and Kat did theirs a nice easy way, I was hoping more folks would jump in there with their TV mod.

Mine was/is a very simple install.
1. Remove old tv
2. Trim off the 1/4 round bottom tv support leaveing 3 inches at back of face.
3. Set flat screen tv on the 3 inch base left from original suport.
4. Put a strip of velcro on both sides of tv and back sides of door.
5. Cut a tim strip above of tv and paint black.

We can remove tv for stick and brick home if needed, it is a moniter/tv i bought while living in Canada.

This has worked for me because tv was same width of original hole, but did need about 1-1/2" tim to fill in top space.

Well Ozz, I put in a wireless printer behind tv too.

Thanks grampachet, a great simple idea.

CountryGuy's latest, done in 2011. This is our second new telie for Tana, we blew the first one up (you can see the photo of that installation at the bottom of the linked page)

Thanks to everyone--I got this started--and now I will get started! Lots of great ideas. The access holes will be required to get mine mounted and I have lots of ideas of how to make them "disappear". Great ideas and GREAT Looking results. We are on the road and will not hit home for a month or more--then get started.

Great Tim and Susan, glad everyone chipped in for you. I didn't know if you wanted me to mention you, as you P/M'd me.
Sometimes folks want to keep a looow profile
