Hi
Can you share any photos of a couple of these?

Interested in the counter flip up extension. We never use our extension cause hooking it on is a pain. If it flipped quick we prob would.

Also screen door protector?

Did you mount your master bed tv?

What’s an EMS system?

No prob! Here are pics of the flip up counter mod. I attached a backing board inside the cabinet, and then added a board to the front side to support the hinges.

Yes, I mounted a swing arm TV mount on the back wall, below the power and cable connectors, for the TV (no pics of that).

An EMS system is an Electrical Management System. It monitors the power going into the RV and protects it against improper power conditions such as surges, low voltage, low frequency, etc.

Here is are pics of the screen door protector and cross bar, and of the EMS system. The EMS display is the small box to the right of the electrical panel.

Thanks. That counter might be something I tackle this winter.

I’d love to mount my bedroom tv. We have the 3006wk. Might be same as yours. It seems our cable connection in the bedroom isn’t hooked in because we were on cable in one campground and there was no signal there. But we had cable in the other rooms.

So last time I used an outside splitter abd ran an extra wire through the bed storage door and around the bed frame and down along the floor. We have a 32” on a rolling cart that we just have sitting in front of the back window.

I’d like it wall mounted but no idea where the frame is to hit it right to support a tv.

Also the swing arm
Mounts usually require the tv be bolted on. Would be nice if the mount could bolt to the wall and the tv just slide into a a bracket once we arrive. This way it doesn’t hang on the wall ripping at the screws violently during travel.

We also have a 3006WK, it's a 2017 model. There was a sticker on the back wall that indicated where to mount the TV. I think you can also use a stud finder, or maybe a magnet to determine where the steel backer plate is.

I mounted a swing arm to the wall, and them mounted this type of mount to the swing arm. The other part of the mount is attached to the TV, and I just slip it onto the swing arm when we get to our destination. It just lays on the bed when we are traveling.

I found that the splitter for the cable connections is behind the USB power ports in the cabinet, below the living room TV. Remove the power ports, and you should find the cables and splitter inside the wall. Maybe one is loose?

Sweet!!

Any chance you know the name or a link for that mount? That might be just the ticket!!

Maybe a stud finder or magnet might work.

Did you just just 1” long metal screws and catch 4 corners of the mount plate?

Here's the mount, on Amazon: https://a.co/d/cifWVlT

I just used 1" metal screws, or maybe 3/4". What year is your 3006WK? Earlier models had the cable connections on the side of the closet, next to the small counter. I don't think those had the backer in the back wall. In the below pic, you can see the sticker that shows where to mount the TV.

Yes. Mine is a 2016. Yes the cable connection is just as you said. Side of the closet above the small counter. But when we’re at a cable site in April. I had the campground guy come check it. He said he could see signal to the main TV but it was as though those bedroom connections had to signal coming. I can check under the main tv. There are a splitter or two under there. Maybe they are the issue. I dunno how to tell if a splitter is bad.

So I ran a splitter outside and ran a black coax through the rear storage door and around the bed frame against the exterior slide wall as there’s a small gap there.

That cable just goes beside the bed and hooks to the tv.

I’d prefer the TV be mounted either high over that small counter. But as long as I keep using that same cable split I’m doing I’d really prefer it be mounted over the rear window area by the closet where yours is.

So in addition to the framing yours actually has a metal plate in there to hold the bracket? Mine may not have it.

I also feel like I saw a picture of another one once where it was mounted on the backside of the bathroom wall there. Maybe that’s where I have a plate. I dunno.
