Depends where you prefer to view it. Wife prefers to view it only at night so I located ours in the rear bedroom on a swivel at the footboard if you have the right swivel it can swivel around the closet and still be seen from the front if you so desire.

We travel with our (23”?) TV on a rear facing wall mount, on the wall behind the dry bath. We remove it from the mount and place it on the centre bedside table, between the twin beds when we use it. I left the table stand on the TV in order to use it this way. Having the TV on the mount keeps it from blocking the view from the rear window, when we’re not using it.
I picked this TV because it came with an AC to 12 V DC power adapter, that I never use. I made a power cable that I run to a standard cigarette adapter. I have a coax outlet there as well - but rarely use it (we almost never have OTA signals where we camp). I usually run KODI on a Raspberry Pi (powered from the USB outlet) and watch video from USB sticks. The TV also has an internal DVD player.
We also have a secondary spot to plug in on the kitchen counter, across from the dinette. We’ve only used it there once or twice - but it’s nice to have the option.
This setup works VERY well for us.

Ours is a smaller unit (20 some inches maybe) on a fold down bracket under the front cabinet behind the passenger chair. This allows my 3 kids to watch tv while we drive down the road from the couch, but we can fold it up out of the way once we arrive. We have 110 AC in the cabinet from both an inverter and from some regular plugs, so we can use the tv and the dvd player with or without the generator while driving. There is also a coax running up there, but since we don't use the tv when parked, except in the rare case of serious rain, we have never used it. Finally, there is a coax cable running to the driver's side cabinet in the way back, but we've never had a tv there and there is no electric. I'd have to run some from that plug over the hallway most likely. Thankfully we have no interest in having another tv.
We did run a headphone cord from the tv up and over the headliner to the area behind the couch, added a 5 way splitter, and some headphones. The kids are now able to hear the tv much better when driving, something we always had problems with but exacerbated by adding a second AC up front. The headphones are an awesome solution. Not only do I no longer have to listen to kids' tv shows while driving and can instead use the radio, but they put my kids in their own little silos so they fuss at each other a lot less as well.

Both the 23 and 26 have the TV mounted under the overhead compartment using some fold down mechanism from Amazon.
To make sure it doesn't brake the cupboard, follow the instructions to mount an addional piece of wood inside to hold up better.
Both coaches have 22" TVs with DVD build in running off of 12V.
Best regards
