The CoRV (78 Royale) has the sidebath floorplan. I am trying to figure out the best way to mount a 15-24" TV. so it can be seen in the front, the coach has the diner converted to a coach. I saw where someone had mounted the tv on a swivel behind the driver's seat but I can't find the picture. Anybody have any other ideas of where to mount one in the limited space available?
Thanks!

Deb,

My solution swings down, so most of the time the TV hangs face down. If
I want to watch TV, I press it up a bit, and it swivels down. I was a
bit afraid that the mechanism might not hold during the constant
earthquakes, but so far, knock-on-wood, things have been fine.
It is fully out of the way, and I do not hit it upon standing up from
the dinette. And with 6'5"-6'6" I am not really Danny DeVito sized.

I used a similar type mount to the one Peer used. Unfortunately, the unit's friction cannot overcome the vibration going down the road. It would not stay up close to the cabinet. I attached an 's' hook and two small hoops. This keeps the rear of the TV set closer to the bottom of the cabinet when folded up out of the way.
On the inexpensive smaller TV sets the viewing angle can be narrow with little good viewing lines other than directly in front of the set.

A warning about cabinets - the cabinet over my dinette in the E II is coming apart, it has to come out and be reglued. The weight of the TV pulled it apart.

I found the place that worked the best for us. Back home on a shelf in the
shop. We found that we almost never watch T.V. when we are in the coach. It
was just in the way for us. So, no wires to mess with, no cable boxes, or
satellite crap on the roof of the coach, no bat wing antennae up there
either. Your uses will differ.
