Octane 181 SL TV

I wasn't sure the max TV size for my 161. The fridge offset was 28". I wanted the biggest TV that would fit. Found a lightweight 32" TV 28.89 wide and went with that and a locking swivel mount. Fits great and looks great with just a little protrusion on the fridge side when locked for travel.

I have a 161 and went through the same decision process, but chose the 28 inch Free Signal TV. It doesn't stick out, is a bit lighter on the bracket and is also 12 volt (13 watt) so can run quite awhile on battery. They do make a 32 inch 12v version, but the wattage is much higher.

Looks nice!

The Spectre I bought was just 9 pounds I literally held it in one hand when screwing it to the mount which is rated for 22lb. Amazing how light they are now.

What mount did you guys use for the TV? This is on my list soon. Thanks! I take my question back, saw the link. How was mounting it?

Despite the weight, I strongly encourage a 4-screw mount. The wood behind the TV mount location isn't a 2-bolt, fear-free install.

I use the one linked above, as well.

I agree with using the entire 4 screw mounting. Was a quick job after i did a couple measurements to ensure it would fit. I offset it from the wall in the locked position a bit so it wouldn't rub against it when vibrating.
