TV install in underbelly of a fifth wheel ideas

I am thinking of installing a TV in the underbelly storage area of my fifth wheel. I already have two small refrigerators in there so i would like to install either a flip down or some sort of hanging style TV. Anyone have any ideas.

That might work for me. Are the sliders drawer slides? How did you make the TV swivel out, the TV mounting bracket or ?????

Wall Mount World | RV and Marine | Articulating Tilting I lucked up and bought mine from a forum member on another forum for $50.

Yes those are drawer slides. I got those off of a cabinet that was going in the trash on a jobsite. I will be replacing them with heavier duty ones in the off season. They work fine, but I'm kind of a perfectionist and the TV leans slightly.

Ours came from factory with flip down arm to mount tv on....has 110v and coax plugs in basement for the 19 inch tv....the tv does double duty so just slides in and out of arm...I leave base on it so can sit on night stand in bed area...if no other use would just leave base off....the arm does not swivel but can just slide it off arm and sit on small table to view from different angle....it can travel on arm up or in viewing position...the arm folds up parallel to the floor so does not interfere with storage....

Thanks all for all the ideas. I have two small refrigerators in the underbelly so I was looking for something I could install in the space that is left on the right side of them. Layback I stole your idea with the drawer slides and got swing out tv bracket from walmart, all that will allow for the tv to slide out and then swivel the way I want. Not bad for $45 worth of parts. Now I can't wait to spring!
