What size TV for bedroom of Coachmen 279RLDS?

Anyone out there with this model with a TV in the bedroom? I am trying to decide if I need to return a new 32” that is not working out in my home or if I can use it in my TT that I will pick up Saturday.

Thank you.

Size wise it will probably be fine in the RV. Wait a week, set it in the trailer and determine if it seems appropriate.

Why would you want to put a tv that does not work in your RV?

It’s not working in the space I allocated it for in my home. Rather than take it back, I thought I may be able to use it there. I can see how my wording would be misconstrued though.

If it's just for the bedroom, you may find yourself getting tired easily while watching the tv and even falling asleep during your favorite show. My opthamologist explained to me that the larger the tv you have in a small space, the more your eyes scan the screen to get everything in. This makes your eyes work harder than they need to. Using a smaller screen will correct that condition. I always use a tv that is no bigger than 25", but usually around 21" for the bedroom. Of course, it's up to your personal preference, but this seems to work best for us.

We have a 24" in our bedroom, that's plenty big enough for us.

We bought a 32" for our new RV bedroom for $195, had it installed at Campers World for $150. Watched it a couple times - waste of money.

I just installed a 32 inch in ours. Works fine if you be sure to use a good mount that is attached to the wall securely.
