Crudsader Bedroom TV ideas

Wondering what everyone has done for tv size and what type of mount everyone is using to mount thier bedroom tv. My Crusader is arriving soon and its just one of those things that Ive been thinking of. If anyone has pics that would help.

I ordered the 296bhs but about 8 different floor plans share the same master bedroom layout.

I think your bedroom tv is meant to go at the bottom of the bed wall. Just to the right of your sliding door. Unfortunately it stands out and chokes off more of walking room around the bottom of the bed. Should be a hookup in the ceiling (cable jack & outlet) at that area. We have a crusader but got the bed in the slide out so we have a chest of drawers and put ours on top of it. There will be a backer plate in the wall for you to mount a tv swing arm on.

Yep. It goes on the wall at the foot of the bed. Im thinking it may mean that my side of the bed gets accessed from the bathroom. Plus im not sure what size tv may fit there without interfering with the slider door unless I mount it far enough off the wall to allow the door to slide behind it.

Yeah we have a 20" flat screen in ours. Most of our tv is watched out in living room unless were in bed and watch a few mins of the news. It works for us. Good luck

In our previous Lacrosse 303RKS we mounted a 20" on the wall plate that was already there from PT. Call PT and have them send you the flush wall mount with the matching tv side mounting plate. That way all the mounts in your unit will be the same. Oh, the sliding door will most likely hit the tv so, all I did was relocate the snap button that holds the door during travel. The door only came within an inch of being fully open.

Here is ours. An articulating arm. I have just tightened down the movement and it rarely moves at all. Works perfectly.
