TV ideas for Fuzion 362?

[LouSlugger]

I think the optimum location for a flat screen in my rig is in space directly above side door entrance (rather than factory installed wall mount which is inaccessible with slide in). Viewable from more positions and will accommodate larger screen. Main concern is stability while towing because the shelf there does not seem too robust. Has anyone installed tv there and if so how is it secured?

OK, I bought a 32 inch Magnavox LCD flat screen HDTV/dvd combo for $349 and a mounting bracket with articulating arm (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LHG20W/ref=oh_o00_s01_i00_details). First, I secured half of the TV mounting bracket to a section of 2x4 using hardware supplied with the bracket. Then I secured the 2x4 to the vertical stud located in the wall that separates storage space above the side entrance from the shower off the master bedroom (using four 4 inch lag screws). Then I attached TV to the other half of the mounting bracket and secured that part of bracket to the part attached to the wall. Although the bracket installation instructions would have you attach the entire bracket to the wall first and then secure the TV to the bracket, this is not possible in my 362 due to limited space, so that's why I deviated from that instruction. In addition to the articulating arm which allows you to extend the TV away from the wall, the bracket allows you to angle the TV downward. At this location, the TV is viewable from virtually every location in the rig (including the sleeping loft) except for the master BR. When not in use, the TV is pushed back and has a piece of foam between the TV bottom and storage shelf (to protect TV and help keep it from moving during travel). This was a pretty easy job and I think this location is much better than the factory TV location. And with the built-in DVD, no need for a separate player.

I’ve been tempted to buy a bigger TV. Are the TVs that Keystone uses really more vibration-resistant than the ones you buy in the store? It’d be nice to hear how others’ installations, such as the above Magnavox, have held up in travel.
