Basement TV Install

This is my version of basement tv installation in the 3400RL.
On the right side is an area which is right in front of the drain pipe for the basin in the bedroom. I installed a piece of plywood in this area and covered with fabric. I secured this board with a bracket screwed into the flooring on top and another bracket on the right side screwed into the bulkhead,nothing on the bottom due to the holding tanks.
I purchased a swing mount from Costco and the TV is a Toshiba 22" Combo. The mount works out great,a bracket screws onto the TV and than you can hook the TV onto the swing bracket and remove the TV and store inside while traveling.

You're probably right Bob! I was also trying to figure out a way to get FM radio out to the outside area which I solved with the TV. On Directv you can tune into XM Radio,problem solved!
Here, were we live it's 90 today in the summer it'll reach 110 and at night it'll get down to 70 degree's if we're lucky.. The trailer's parked in our inclosed driveway.We can driveway camp in the evening and cool off. It's a little cheaper too. LOL!

Thanks for the compliments guy's. I did make one mistake which I didn't realize until after it was too late. I should have drill out a couple of holes to run the cables neatly to the rear.
Gerald, the remote works perfect,all I had to do was change the receiver from IF to RF and WaLa! I am so happy with it I ordered another one to keep in side and leave the other one in the basement. Thanks again for your suggestion and help!.
Brad,it's a 22 inch Toshiba DVD combo, fits perfect in that location.

Never mind the TV that was a super install, I was impressed as to how clean the basement was!
