I understand about the mounting on the ceiling issue. I only have 1 leg, so getting to the driver's seat is enough of a job without trashing out a brand-new TV with my bony head. Too much work & expense for me. I'll likely mount one over the dinette table where it can fold up when it's time to use it as a bed. I can then put the power supply in that overhead bin, since there's an antenna wire & 120v AC plug there already.

Here's one approach. If you want it to fold up under the overhead cabinets, you are somewhat limited as far as size but I find this one perfectly adequate. I usually watch it from the dinette but since it swivels, I can lay down on the couch and watch it from there as well, or while cooking in the kitchen:

Easy of moving it outside also seems like a nice plus.

I found an arm that tilts and swivels. I mounted it under the cabinet behind the passenger seat. Not only can we watch it anywhere in the galley or cockpit area we can swing it right over and out the window and see it outside. I don't watch it til after dark unless its race sunday. Lots of options if you can find the correct mount. Got mine on ebay 6 years ago. It folds up under the cabinet when we travel. I have a 19 inch so have to hold it up with a strap.
