Passport TV Mount

I have a 2018 Passport Elite, 234qbwe. It came equipped with a 32in tv. Swing arm allows tv to pull out and swivel to the rear of the coach where the dinette is located. I would like the tv to also swivel the other direction so I can watch from the bed.
Any suggestions on a replacement mounting bracket.
First TT owned since May.

I posted some info about this very same issue not long back. I have a 24 footer and it's the same setup. I have read that there are folks that are able to mount a swing arm in the bedroom area. However I chose to mount mine flat. There is a steel plate in that wall, approx the center, that you can drill into to mount your screen. Do a search and you'll find quite a bit of info from my question.

I recently picked up the same unit, Let me know what worked for you as I am looking to do the same. How do you like that unit so far?

Like the unit a lot. I especially like the open floor plan. Got it in mid- May and have only been out with it once. A week long boondock trip planned for early August.
Everything on the coach works great, just need to solve the tv viewing dilemma.
Will let you know what I figure out.

Does it seem like your table floor mounts aren’t very sturdy? I’d like to swap mine out for metal ones if I can find some or have some made up.

A pedestal table with a small base, when mounted on a thin plywood (or OSB) floor, is going to be "wobbly"... There's not much you can do about that. Maybe reinforcing the floor (difficult in slides) or installing stiffer attachment fittings (the floor will still flex with any weight applied to the table top)... Otherwise, if you want to use the existing table configuration (base and installation) you're going to have a "wobbly table".

There are two alternatives to improve the dining table and make it more sturdy. First would be to improve the table pedestal/base so it has a larger footprint and spreads the support over a larger part of the floor surface. That "may help". Alternatively, and in my opinion, the best solution is to remove the pedestal table and replace the pedestal with 4 legs, one on each corner of the table top. That way, you can either leave the table legs not secured (use tie downs during towing) or secure each of the table legs to the floor for even more security. That way, there's no flexing, no bending and no "poorly secured, small pedestal" to contend with. If you use the existing table top, you can maintain the existing décor or if you want to change décor, purchase a table or table and chairs, but stay away from a pedestal table if you want a "sturdy table top" that doesn't flex when you use it to stand up and lean against the tabletop......

My table has 2 metal pedestal mounts on the table. It wobbles a bit because the "legs" fit into bases on the underside of the table and the floor for easy removal of the table when converting to a sleeping area.
