TV Replacement Suggestions?

So while our Seismic Wave was at the dealership for work, it was broken into and had the family room and bedroom tv's stolen.

I told the dealership not to replace them, I'd handle it so I could get the TV's I wanted. I'd like to go up in size and use a bracket that allows the family room tv to turn since it's on an angle for both the kitchen and couch, I really just care about it being more angled at the couch.

With that said - what brand TV would you suggest for a quality picture but also hold up in a moving home? I'll be bringing them inside our house when not in use to help from the extreme temperature changes.

I'm not real happy with the sound system that comes with it, so I'm thinking about making some upgrades down the road, that subwoofer is kind of a joke.

The bedroom could have a max width of 36" and height 22"
The family room to fit inside the cutout area in the entertainment center would be up to 41" wide by 24" heigh. If went outside that cutout, I could go up to a 46" wide by 24" heigh.

All major brand TV's will hold up to traveling down the road. You'll be bringing the sets inside, so temp fluctuation is not a concern. I'm partial to Sony and Samsung, but just go to your local TV store and grab what you think looks the best, has the features you want and is within the budget you want to spend.
I'd also bring a tape measure to make sure it'll fit where you want to put it. The screen size may be 39" for example, but different manufacturers have different size bezels around the screen.

We replaced the crap Jensen with a same sized Samsung Smart TV. It can stream video, hook to your phone and surf the web. Like you, I was going to connect it to the in house speakers but the internal TV speakers sound better than the house speakers.

We have Samsung's and Insignia's in our house but have had Sony in the past and liked the picture quality. Looking for something priced well since we don't spend a lot of time in the 5th wheel watching TV, but didn't want junk either.

I've got a few to look at in person at Best Buy and will buy off Amazon if that's the better price.

Thanks for the feedback!

I put a Vizio HD in ours and it was fine all last season. I prefer Samsung but didn't need a top of the line tv for the camper. This Vizio has a really good picture though.
