Swivel Mount

Has anybody pulled their TV out and put it on a swivel mount yet? My 3795 came with the TV hard mounted to a wood board covered in cloth. When sitting on certain parts of the couch you can't see the screen to well. I would like to put the TV on a swivel mount that would allow me to pull it out and turn it when needed, like with plasma screens. The only issue is it has to lay flat enough so the slider can come back in. Anybody have experience with this?

Now we don't have your same unit but this is what we added to our North Trail. It will push to the wall and stick out only as thick as the TV plus about another 2in. We can position this TV in so many different ways. It can even be positioned in front of the door and be turned to the outside. Hope this helps.

Our 4012 came with the pullout mount. It has straps to hold it in during travel. Works great. Clears the slide. Doug

I know the 4012 comes with the swivel mount, but ours is mounted solid in the entertainment center.

I have been complaining about the same thing from the get go with my dealer. Some models come with the arm and some don't. Pretty frustrating to me. I am still waiting on a response but I will be putting one on my rig before too many more weeks. The local dealer has one that they use with another type of camper that has a locking mechanism built in. If I can find out what kind of mount it is I will try to post back up with the name.

My dealer tried once already to put spacers behind my wood mount to turn it down some. After that I could see it when sitting on the couch and in the table chairs without the dark spots at the top but I still can't lay on the couch or the air mattress and watch movies because it is too dark to see. The best place to watch the TV when I bought the camper was laying on the bunk over the garage. You couldn't even see it from the couch at first because it was angled flat and more on the upward angle rather than directly flat.

I have looked at this mount on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=380015110435&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=025

I checked the specs for my TV here

The mount can support up to 80lbs and the TV weighs 44lbs gross and 31lbs net so I am guessing that the gross is including the base plate that is indicated in the picture on the site.

This mount seems to be stronger than some out there. I have been trying to decide what I would use for straps but haven't completely decided yet. I used boat pad eyes in the openings above my cabinets and used bungee cords to keep stuff from coming out of those areas. I will probably do something similar to the TV just to keep it from swinging out too far during transit.
