Swivel arm TV mount suggestions
I'm looking to add a TV mount that swivels out on an arm and also locks to the wall for transport. Any recommendations? I think the space for the 29hfs holds a 32" or maybe even a thin bezel 40".
Thanks!

*TVFORMYRV* has a lot of different mounts.
The photo below is very similar to the one in my rig.

This is what I installed with my new Samsung LED TV in my motorhome.
Solid as a rock and like the locking pin when moving.

That looks like a great mount. Is mounting it to another peice of wood instead of directly to the wall stud the best way to mount?

I also have a 29hfs and have the pull out mount that swivels about 45 degrees so the angle of view is almost perfect for our recliner optioned slide out and a samsung 40" led tv fits perfect with about an inch to spare on top and bottom

For the grandkids or any guests who stay in the garage i put in a samsung 28" led tv with a samsung bluray player mounted above it. The mount for this one was a Omni small tilt wall mount (model #OS40TP). The living room mount in the before post is a Omni full tilt, pan mount (model #OC80FM)

Thats awesome! Based on the model number, it doesn't appear to have any kind of locking mechanism during transport. How did you stabilize your TV during transport?

Just made sure all the mounting screws are tight and also the bolts that are also used as a hinge are snug enough not to move without a little bit of effort. I also bought black covers that slip over both tv's and are held on with a velcro strip. I make sure before moving trailer that the tv mount is collapsed flat against the wall. When the slide out is all the way in there is several inches between the side of the slide out and the front of the covered tv which i found is a great place to keep the small throw pillows that came with the couch/triple recliner.

Do you have any pics of what the TV mount looks like mounted to the wall? I'm trying to figure out if a single stud mounting holes is enough to support the weight of the TV.
Awesome sewage storage solution! Do you have any pics of how it mounts to the carriage?

I was only going to use screws but when I installed the wood panel I Gorilla glued it to the wall to insure it won't come off. I still have to stain it or cover with some contact paper soon.

3rd is of tv mount collapsed, 4th is of mount fully extended and turned toward couch/recliners, 5th is of mount lag screws into center wall stud (forgot to measure twice before drilling so had to move mount higher to get tv centered vertically), and last is of view from couch/recliner.

Television mount
When I upgraded the television in my Sunseeker I took the suggestion of another member and used Monoprice to buy the articulated mount(s).
TV Wall Mounts
This is the thread I posted to help out when I bought the mount and installed it. I checked that thread and all of the photos I uploaded are gone!
I can repost or send if needed.

Hope this helps

I had a cheapo from Wallyworld ... recently went with a good one from Lowes. It was about $90 ... I use a strap when traveling for peace of mind. Been in some terrible roads with no problems.
