Carbon 347 Front TV?
Anyone know how you put a TV in the bedroom, where they have the placement for it, there inst enough room between the slide out and the wall to install a TV.

Well from the pics I seen on some new ones for sale, it looks like the plugs for power and cable are in the ceiling in the corner of the bedroom so with that being said I guessing you'll need to see if you can get one that folds down from the ceiling and back up locking in place for travel. With the bathroom door from the bedroom it looks like that's the only place it can go, though not sure if there might be a mounting board in behind the panel to mount to...a call to your dealer might shed some light on that one. Mor-ryde makes a host of tv mounts.

oh my 337 there's a sticker on the wall that says it's build to support a tv mount, but I agree with the OP, you'd have to be pretty careful about clearance for the wardrobe slide, it's tight!

This is the one I had in mind, under 2.5" when raised.

Assuming the roof is capable of supporting it, that should work. The other option is to use one of the MorRyde rigid wall mounts that allow you to slide the tv on and off:

Just have to make sure you don't forget to remove it before you close the slide or things could get ugly!

With the rigid mount OP might be able to mount it on the wall between the door to bathroom and door to hallway.

I mounted a swing arm mount on the trim of the wardrobe slide out. Had to remove a section center molding for a flat mounting surface of mount. Works great. Just have to watch the cable and power cord to make sure they don't catch on the slide out.

I will post my pics tomorrow. Got a 32” Samsung smart tv, then got a flush mount for the wall. About a 1/2 “ clearance between slide out and tv but it looks fantastic and you can see it well from the bed.

TV and mount location
I have attached two pictures of my tv and mount in my Carbon with a slideout in the bedroom. Its a 32" Samsung 1080p Smart tv and a flush mount to the wall. Got both at Best Buy. Same price as Amazon. Fits perfectly although a pain finding the wall studs. There is a sticker that says "mount TV here" which had a stud but the others were almost impossible to find but did eventually find them. Works great. There is about a 1/2" clearance between the slideout and the TV. Could not find a mount that was slim enough to swivel but after installing it is no problem viewing.

Thanks for sharing. I was trying to decide what to mount in our bedroom. I think you answered my question.

Sorry for the late pics but here is what I did. Mounted the TV mount to the header of the wardrobe slide.

Very clever and interesting solution!
I opted for a swing arm mount that was designed to make it easy to detach the tv from the mount arm, and mounted it to the normal place on the wall. The backing plate stays on the tv and 'hooks' onto the arm with a screw holding it in place. When traveling, I remove the lock screw, lift the tv off and stow it under the bed, and fold the mount arm flat against the wall.
I also added an HDMI wall plate (upper right corner) to connect the tv to the satellite receiver in the living room entertainment center.

How did you run the HDMI cable?

The wall between the bedroom and the bathroom is a double wall with a hollow space due to the pocket door, so I routed the HDMI cable in the hollow by drilling a hole up from the basement into the space inside the wall. The trick is knowing where to drill the big hole. In order to "get my bearings" I drilled a very small hole (just big enough to push a thin piece of wire through) where it would come up through the bedroom carpet near the bathroom wall. Pushed the wire through from the basement, then went into the bedroom, and measured the distance from the wire sticking out of the hole to the bathroom wall. Using that measurement, I knew where to drill the big hole so the HDMI cable could be run up inside the hollow wall. I drilled the hole in the bathroom wall (near the top where the wall plate would go), then I used a wire fishing tool to push a piece of string up through the hole in the basement, inside the wall, up to the mounting plate hole and tied it off.
The other end of the HDMI cable in the living room goes in through the hole in the wall behind the big tv (where the RCA cable that goes to the factory stereo is routed). There's an "access panel" at the bottom of the entertainment center cabinet (next to the fuse panel cover) that you can remove with 2 screws. Inside there is a hole that goes through to the basement (in back of the convenience center). I routed the HDMI cable thru the hole behind the tv, down inside the wall, to the hole inside the access panel, then thru the basement (behind the convenience center) to the hole that goes up into the bathroom wall. Obviously, you'll want to remove the white shroud that hides the back of the convenience center in the basement before doing this. Then I used the string to pull it up into the wall and out the wall plate hole. Attached the cable to the wallplate, installed the wall plate, then went into the basement and secured the cable to the basement roof with some cable fasteners.
Below are pics of the cable routing along the roof of the basement right inside the access door. One shows the cable disappearing over the white shroud that hides the back of the convenience center (next to the orange and white wires), the other shows the cable going up into the hollow bathroom/bedroom wall.

Mounted TV
I mounted the TV to the slide by using rubber grommets so I would not have to cut wood off of the closet. The TV is able to pivot Against the closet while in transit. I drilled four holes through the 1x5 wood frame And secured with washers and a nylon locking nut. The bottom right bolt is a threaded wood screw as the back is not accessible due to a position where the slide is at. This way if I want to remove the bracket and TV I should be able to use a little wood filler and a marker to cover up the holes.
