TV mount
On Sunset ST250RB Entertainment center is at foot of bed facing living area. It has a swivel TV mount (can turn to watch in bedroom. When watching from sofa (on slideout) and you turn TV to watch, part of screen is blocked by cabinet it sits in. Also, no speakers in bedroom! Was told couldn't replace mount with swing arm type. Any suggestions.

I posted a similar thread on this a couple of weeks ago. We have the same swivel mount issue -- part of the screen is blocked when sitting in the love seat of the RV.
There are mounts you can install that will permit you to extend the television and turn it so it can be seen without impacting the ability of the swivel from the living room to the bedroom. I haven't purchased one yet because it just hasn't hit the top of my "to do" list yet.
As for the loss of audio Chiveon mentioned -- a loose coax cable connection on the rear of the television? If you were connected (somehow) to the stereo system, that might indicate a loose audio connection. But since the television speakers are built-in to the television, I can't think of anything else other than a loose or bad coax connection which doesn't really make sense if you still have a good television picture.

Only if they start plumbing the drain for it to a grey tank instead of on the ground.

Blingo, the outside kitchen for us has been wonderful. I don't have to fight with DW on finding a place for the adult beverages. It is also handy for making coffee in the morning without waking up DW. i agree with TxCowboy about being in the stereo. You would probably have RCA jacks hooked to the tv which would give you sound in the living area. Could your tv be on mute? If the coax was loose, you wouldn't have any picture. I am having a topper put on my slide next week and a new tv mount with an arm. I will let you know how it works out.

Cubfan, jot down the make and model number for that mount. If it works for you, that will be good information for all of us, in this same situation, to have.

Speaker should work both thru the TV and from/ to the Jensen DVD unit if its hooked up right. Coax goes to TV from Sat box and use the red,white,yellow cord to connect to the DVD player. I can run the TV thru the RV speakers this way and thru the TV speakers at the same time. It also works in reverse for DVDs, the sound comes thru the TV and the RV speakers.

Something I found out in our 2016 240BH is that whoever wired in the speakers didn't know what they were doing as rewiring them was one of the first things I had to do. The outside speakers never worked and only one of the inside speakers did (all working as intended now after some TLC) That being said something that I did find out with our TV speakers is that if the receiver volume is turned all the way to zero the speakers on the TV do not work. However if you just turn the knob to a volume of 1 you can then turn the TV speakers up or down as loud as you like.

I just wanted to get back to Jeff and everyone else concerning the articulated tv arm my dealer was going to install. As it turns out, he couldn't do it. The mechanic spent about an hour trying to remount the tv with no success. After taking off the back panel, he couldn't figure out how to mount the arm. When I made the appointment, I asked for the Morryde arm, like they show in their catalog, but they don't stock it. Puzzling. What frustrates me is that when I first saw the 25rb, it came with an articulating arm that the salesperson showed me how to unlatch it. After reading the CW horror stories and visiting the store near us for a quote on a slide topper, I am not too anxious to give them a shot. Jeff suggested MorRyde, I visited the website, but I am not too handy. I have a tough time visualizing how things should go. I will keep on looking to see if any one has ideas. Maybe the factory can help. It seems pretty senseless to sit on the love seat, next to the window and be able to watch 2/3's of the picture. There has to be a petter solution. Sorry for being so wordy.

Just wondering if anyone has come up with a make and part number and a way to install a tv swing arm for the center entertainment center in SST's? I am trying to solve the "blocked view" problem.

I have a mount laying around here some place that came with our rig. I don't use it, but if I can find it, you can have it. Sounds like what you are in need of.

Thank you Lloyd, Next week I will remove the tv and take a closer look at the mounting area and see if it will be possible to mount a bracket like that? The picture helps.I will PM you if I think it will work so we can set something up. Thank's again.
