Has anyone found a place to haul the sewer tote other than the ladder where it doesn't interfere with the spare tire or plug in? We just don't want to hang it on the ladder. Thank you. Also hate how the tv doesn't swivel out in there. Love just about everything else in there. A total couples trailer.

Are you sure? The floorplan definitely says "Pivot" on the TV, and the 3D walk through seems to show significant space behind the TV. If it's anythig like ours, it should pull out, then swing.

It lifts off the bracket and then you have a hard time getting it back on. It sure does not swing out at all, only one direction on that fixed bracket.

Curious. A photo would be interesting.

As for the sewer tote, you can hang it on the ladder, carry it in the bed of the truck or store it in the front compartment (ewwww). I typically carry it in the bed of the truck, but have strapped it to the ladder a few times.

Why not replace the bracket with one that does swing out?

 

[BillandTerri2]

Just getting husband to do that would be nice. I will have to put it on the honey do list.

I must admit to being still curious about your current mount.

 

[LHaven]

Never mind, I believe I have now had the curiosity beaten out of me.
I revewed about a dozen YouTube videos of walk-thrus of this model. In every one, the demonstrator entirely ignores demonstrating the TV mount in his eagerness to show off the "secret room" gimmicked behind the TV wall.
One woman bumps the edge of the TV by accident. It angles perhaps 5° before bottoming out, and she restores it.
I realized eventually that the word "PIVOT" on the floorplan does not refer to the TV, it refers to the TV wall that opens to reveal the hidden pantry. The depth of the door precludes any real storage space behind the TV, as in my model.
I am now willing to believe that Keystone made no provision to swivel the actual TV at all. Shocking.

I think those "cubby holes" were touted as a place to secure valuables. Makes me laugh when I think what happened to our trailer when it was vandalized about 10 years ago. The heroin addict that broke into over 100 units in a 5 mile radius just pulled our TV off the wall, mount and all. If there had been a hiding place it certainly would have been exposed.
