After living with several different tv mount locations in our two coaches, we found the best and easiest is to simply set as large a flat panel as you wish on the engine cover between the two seats. There is enough room between the back of the passenger seat and the forward end of the dinette seat to just slide the tv in for travel. We cover it with a light weight throw to prevent scratching. I also added a short loop of picture hanger wire to the top two mount holes on the tv so it can be hung from any kind of a hook indoors or out when you want to.
To make it easy to move between the two coaches I sewed up a couple of pouches. One holds the sat. box, sat remote and an hdmi cable and the other holds the rg6 cable that connects the sat. finder to the sat. box as well as the security chain and lock. We normally set the sat. finder (The smallest of the Winegard auto finder units) out beside or in front of the coach and run the rg6 cable through the drivers or passengers window so only a relatively short cable is needed. That also bypasses all the old coax cable and connections inside the coach so we get a pure signal from sat. finder to sat. box.
This simple solution works well in both the 1977 Clasco and the 1978 Royale.

The TV mount in our coach has a small lever that locks it in the
scrunched up to the wall, closed position for travel.
Can't find a name or model on it.
