Recommended Kitchen Cabinet TV Mount

[CampingNate]

We just purchased a new to us 2021 Jayco Jay Feather x23b. It does not have a TV in it, but I see a sticker under the cabinet that notes it has a place to mount a TV. Does anyone know what kind of mount would work for this under cabinet position? Or do you have a TV already mounted in a similar unit? I’d like to purchase a TV, but I’m not sure what I need. Also, I’m new to Jayco. Where can we buy parts? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! You're at the right place and you'll get some ideas.
We don't have a TV, so can't help you with that one. : )

Today's flat screen TVs use a mounting standard called VESA. It describes the position of the mounting screws on the back of the TV. You can determine what size mount you need by looking at the specs for the TV you want to buy. An example VESA mount size is 100mmX100mm, meaning the four screw holes are located on a 100mmX100mm square pattern. Is your TV location near a 110v outlet? If so, you can purchase any TV you'd like in the size that will fit. There's no need to buy from an RV dealer or supplier unless you're planning on having a 12v TV. The sticker on the wall should not only mean that there is a physical structure to which you can mount the TV but also a cable hidden behind the sticker from the TV antenna on your trailer.

Thanks for the response, @ClarkeNorman. The challenge I'm having is that the TV mounting point sticker is on the underside of the cabinet. It's kind of bizarre. I'm curious how TVs are installed at the factory in that position and what kind of mount is used.

There are numerous under cabinet TV mounts. Some allow the TV to be flipped out of the way against the bottom of the cabinet and others simply provide a mounting base to the cabinet bottom and an arm to mount the TV on. Search Amazon for 'under cabinet TV mount' and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

I would call Jayco and find out where the TV should be mounted in your camper before you order mounting hardware. They may also still sell the TV mount you need. I'd also check prices on Amazon before you buy one from Jayco, as they tend to be pricey. You can buy any TV and as long as your mounting hardware is VESA. We have a 2017 23B, and ours came with a 23" TV that was mounted on the wall under the kitchen cabinet near the entry door and the cable connection is underneath the cabinet. The TV can be removed from that spot and taken outside. There is a bracket to the left of the front door along with another cable connection. We could slide our TV up and off the mount inside, and take it outside and slide it onto the bracket, connect the cable, plug it in and watch TV outside. If you have a mounting point and cable connection outside (to the left of the front door), it's possible that yours is designed the same way. It's also possible that Jayco did away with that feature in 2021 and the TV may actually attach under the cabinet.
