What size tv for garage

Wondering what's the maximum tv size I can install in my garage on 2015 carbon 32. Don't want to go so big it rips from the wall but I would like as big as safely possible without ripping out from the wall

Steve, keep in mind that if you go bigger than a new 32" it will be hard to watch unless you have a 16' garage. Assuming the distance from the face of the TV to the face of the watcher is approximately eight feet or less, a 42" to a 60" would be hard on the eyes and hard on your neck muscles.

Ok thanks. It's only a 10 foot so I guess I'll go with a 32

I have a 32" in the garage with a sound bar. I did brace my TV mount with a small piece of wood screwed in between the cabinets and screwed into the wall to help support my TV. I don't travel down the road with the TV on the wall, but it has held up nicely during tailgating and jumping up & down while watching football

Question for you DiverB... I am in the process of purchasing a 357 currently. Curious to know what it is like to view the TV while sitting on the coach with the upper bed down? I am going to use the garage as the bedroom for my kiddos. I would like to know if I will need to raise the bed everyday, or if I was to get a mount that lowers 10" would be enough.

I've actually never had the rear bed down, sorry. I have only used the rear TV in the garage when tailgating at football games, and every other time I've used the camper I have been alone. Sorry I'm not much help

Got the same setup as DiverB...with the top bed down it is very hard to see the TV...but great for the kids if they are on the top bunk. My 11 year old loves it up there to watch movies and play XBOX.

Thanks fellas. Well I will try to mount a 32" on the adjustable mount i found and see if the 10" drop is enough with the bed down. It looked as if you can raise the bed stops up so it doesn't come as far down. I Pick up the 357 on Thursday!!
