Outside TV BBQ Mount

Finally got the tv and mount from Walmart. Made a bracket to fit the BBQ mount and modified the Walmart mount and welded the two together along with a 1/2" x 2" x 10" steel tube also. Padded the backside of the tube so it would not scratch the side.

I like that, but I don't have a storage compartment to use for the tv, thus the bbq rail mount.

Got enough of that from TOWTA. Luckily the whole shebang just cost $148.00 and Walmart paid the shipping to the store. Now she can watch her @#$% soaps and I can watch something else sitting outside.

dunnnc, how did you make the rail mount? I've been wanting to do the same thing...and where did you get the screen covering the heater inlet/outlet?

You could very likely have a marketable product here! Nicely done!

I like that idea. I could use that bracket to fit the BBQ mount. Any extras?

Made the rail attaching pc from a 3" long pc of 16 ga(0.060) steel and formed it. I cut a pc off the tv mount and just oxy-acet. welded the two together and also added the pc of 1/2 x 2 x 8 steel tubing for extra support and glued a pc of 1/16" thk rubberized vinyl for a pad to keep from scratching the side.

As for the screen, we got that at Camping World, but you can get them from most RV dealers, Amazon or ebay.

Nice work, not going to let the DW see that though or it would be one more thing on the Honey Do list.

saw this design on a sabre and love it! I am looking at the wildcat 312bhx with the little fold down sink and grill. I was thinking of removing the sink/grill and using the space for this type of modification! Glad to see someone else did it!

That is a sabre oe mount for the tv.
My outside stove top that comes out the same way is further back on the unit.
I also added a rvq grill and mount strip I squandered from my last unit.
