2016 28dbud television size

Hi all, new member here! I'm picking up our new to us Wildwood 28dbud and the previous owner has removed the TV from the entertainment center. I was wondering about the outside dimensions as it is a swivel unit and I would like to start TV shopping. Any help is greatly appreciated.

37" wide would be a 40" flatscreen tv

2016 28dbud television size

I had a 28DBUD and a 32" was a good fit.

Also, I used a universal mount from Walmart that allowed me to easily remove it without tools for travel. When on the move I put in the bed under the comforter. You may have a different plan, but that worked for us.

I put a 32" in mine. A flat mount you will be fine. I used one that pulls out any swivels so I had a straight view from the couch. I can still tuen the tv into the bedroom but it takes some creative maneuvering

Dont do what I did in my 2015 28dbud and not measure before you buy. You wind up with a TV thats WAY too small!

You only need to measure the width of the opening, not the height since no tv's are made square, a detail the rv engineers seem to no figure out yet. If they made spaces for actual tv's in the horizontal plane you would have more storage space available. Every tv spec will have the actual width listed in their descriptions. The easiest site to check these out is Best Buy, even if you don't shop there.

"32 worked great, but the articulating mount does require some manipulation to turn it around.

I did the same with my 32". It just requires some maneuvering when rotating it from one side to the other.
