Installed New TV Today

[mokurt]

So I bought a 32" TCI 1080 with WIFI today for our 2019 248RSBW.
I installed it with an inexpensive wall mount from Walmart.
I had to modify the mount so I would be able to mount to solid wood off center from where the factory mounting label was placed.
Used 1" lag bolts after checking with stud finder but can also tell by pressing on the wall.
Pretty easy!

Nice. If you live in an area that freezes you’ll want to pull the lcd tv from the trailer and keep it in the house. LCD=liquid crystal display and will freeze. It would suck if your new tv froze not long after installing it. If it’s led and not lcd then you should be good. But if it were me, I would check the manual that came with the tv to see what temp range the say the tv should be used in. If you live in an are that doesn’t freeze then you should be ok.

Does the mount you used swing out?

You will have no issue leaving your TV in freezing temperatures. They do not ship TV's around the continent in heated trailers! Up here in the colder climates, TV's stay in the RV's year round including during the winter storage periods! Fish finders used for ice fishing have LCD screens, they don't freeze! The only thing that needs to be done if a TV is in freezing temperatures is that you let it warm up to room temperature before you turn it on! Shouldn't be an issue for you!

That’s good. Is the mount a swing out mount or fixed mount?

Even better, no liquid like an LCD.......no issues in the freezing temps.

It's about a 6" swing out enough to get in the back.

You’ll probably want to make sure you can secure it so it’s not swinging around while traveling down the road.
