3250TS (2008) - Bedroom TV swing mount?

[NickAtNyte]

We love our Big Country 5th Wheel - but .... *she* wants our LCD TV to have a swing out mount for better visibility from the bed. Of course what she wants is a high priority to me. I'm a little hesitant about making holes and mounting the VESA mount we got for the 19" LCD TV. It isn't heavy, and the mount seems plenty sturdy. Is there a diagram or some template that will help me provide a sturdy installation?

NickAtNyte, I don't know how your Big Country is laid out, but on our Bighorn I drilled four holes in the solid wood side of the cabinet. Used fender washers and all is well.
Here is a link to couple of installations.

Peace

We mounted a 1X6 piece of wood onto the wall on the right side of the tv cabinet, then mounted the swing bracket to it. That way we were sure we would not hit anything important in the walls (like electrical). Our model is an '08 which still had the cabinets to sit the tv in. Not sure if the newer models now have just a shelf or still a cabinet. Good luck.

Thanks Cookie & Nabo!

Your idea makes great sense and will work perfectly for the area we want to mount our TV.
