Congrats on the new trailer. As far as the television mount, it has holes in the bracket on 4 inch centers, horizontally and vertically. My 26 inch Sanyo had 8 inch hole centers horizontally and 4 inch hole centers vertically. I had to fabricate an adapter mount to mount the television to the wall bracket.

Another question,Whats the best way to strap the tv in from moving to much?Or is it best to store the tv while you are traveling?Thanks

We keep ours on one of the beds during transit. I too am looking for a way to secure the 26" set so it can stay in place. The 19" in the master bedroom is no problem. It is permanently attached to its bracket. So far no problems.

Look further in the mods section there are quite a few posts there regarding securing your TV. These were pretty lenghty conversations with some pretty good ideas.

Thanks ryeja.

It is quick and easy to just remove the TV from the wall bracket and store it on the bed. That way I don't have to worry about rough roads.

I used a universal flat tv mount for the 26" Vizio I installed. Had to remove the factory bracket, move the mount up about 8" if I remember correctly. Luckily, the factory had some good blocking behind as I was still able to find a good chunk of wood for the install. Had to drill a hole in the top cabinet in order to set the locking screw ontop of the mount. When on the road, I use an expandable closet rod wrapped with foam pipe insulation installed at an angle, then tightened. So far(knock on wood), with almost 2-years on the road, all is still good. Of course, I think the equa-flex suspension also helps dampen some of the rough stuff.....

Got a 26'' Vizio TV & it does not fit,Alot of room on the bottom & not enough room on the top to be able to push it in.I think maybe the tv has to much frame?Anybody else have this problem?25.63''W 19.13''H 8.70'' D,Weighs 17 1/2 #s.Should fit,ThanksEdited by: campsurveyor

With the help of two handy friends I was able to remount our 26" HDTV. We moved the existing mount up about 2-1/2" using stronger screws. We then fastened an industrial strength webbed strap and sliding fastener to the stud behind the TV. After pushing the TV into the "entertainment center" I put a pillow in front of the screen and tightened the retaining strap. After a 250 mile ride, some of which was bumpy, I rechecked the TV and found it still securely mounted.

Campsurveyor, not sure about the entertainment centers in the 5th wheels, maybe they are a bit smaller. I measured mine probably 2-3 times, researched the tv size on the web and from other members postings here. Mine is a tight fit, more so on the sides than top to bottom. Is it possible to maybe remove a bit of trim-work to work it in? Good luck
