36CKTS outside tv connector
Curiosity has me thinking, there is a tv cable jack on the outside next to the storage compartment, along with a power plug in. Is this so that you can put a tv in that compartment and have cable/satellite?

If its on the same side as the entry door many folks hang the TV on the wall with a easy release wall mount, I have heard some take the TV from the bedroom and put it outside to watch TV outside under the awning.

I added a receptacle in the basement from that electrical connection and put a splitter going to the outside cable and mounted a 32" on a swivel mount and swing it outside when in use. Works great for when you have a cable connection at the campground.

On my 2013 36CKTS above the power plug/tv jack is a oval cap with THULE printed on it. Under the cap is a mount for the 12 volt tv that you can take from the bedroom outside to watch tv

I took the quick mount from the bedroom TV and replaced it with a standard one from Walmart. Bought a 21" TV and now take it on and off using the quick mount. Works well.

Are you looking to mount a TV in the basement for outside?

Either or would be nice. What do you mount the tv mount to?

Well this is embarrassing.

Emptp82, I mounted mine to the forward bulkhead in the basement on the passenger side. Purchased a long swing arm from Walmart with a 32" and fold back for travel with a bungee cord across the tv to keep it in place. The bulkhead is 3/4 " plywood so good mounting area.
