Replacing the old TV

Our existing tv broke loose and was hanging by some of the wiring when we stopped for the nite- Please share how y'all mounted one of the new thin tvs- The cavity left by the old analog tv presents some problems- Where and how did y'all mount the wall bracket that holds the 32" tv? THANX in advance for all info y'all can share- Don

On my old 2004 monty I had the same issue all you have to do is get a Mor-ryde tv mount,this is the one I used http://tweetys.com/tv-mount-slide-out-swivel.aspx and get a 32in flat screen and you are good to go ,the tv will be a little bigger than the hole but no big deal and the bracket locks in place against the hole when traveling

I got a little carried away trying to utilize the space behind the TV. But I could have just put a flat piece of plywood in the opening and installed a mount to it. Old TV was 27", new one is 32". But here are pictures for what it is worth.

Edit: gotta work on the slide show. Be back soon.

OK, can't get the slide show to work, so here are some pics. I bought the mount from Wayfair.com.

I had a 2001 2955 RL with a 27 inch tube TV. I put a piece of good 3/4 inch plywood with 3 hinges and 2 latches in its place and mounted the fiat screen to it so I could use the space behind it.

I replaced both TV's in our 2006 with flat screen HDs. Used MorRyde Television mounts and they have worked out very well. Yes, the space behind the is open but I have to much junk already--don't need to find a place to store more! We are just completing a 100 day trip of about 9000 miles and are very pleased with the MorRyde mounts. I just did not trust the standard wall mount used in residential installations to last long while I was towing.
