My TT has a flip down ceiling tv mount but it was installed in the factory, in the backing.
Not all ceilings will have backers for this.
I'm pretty sure that it's a rarity.

i added one to my highwall, with a King jack antenna mounted above it. I sandwiched the roof between a piece of 3/4 inch hdpe plastic on the outside and 3/4 inch poplar on the inside. One less thing to set up when you get there

What is that wooden thing attached to your ceiling? Also wouldn't doing that mount void the roof warranty?
I would be concerned that the mount would get in the way when closing the roof and possibly cause damage to the roof or what would be under it. Obviously you didn't have this problem but not so sure on a floor plan like mine or others.

The wooden thing is collapsible shelves mounted on hinges to the side wall of the roof. I've included some pics. I use to use the shower rods and metal shelving before and while its functional it's a real pain to set up and store. It rests quite comfortably on the rear bed end while bouncing down the road.
I have a HW296 and the TV mount sits in between the 2 beds ends when they are closed.
Does it void the roof warranty? Probably. But just about any modification will void some warranty. If warranties are a concern, then by all means don't do it. I do a lot of camping and traveling, for me it's all about life being easy and everything having its place.

Shelf looks real nice, looks very handy. With the cost of these roofs and some of the issues they have, I would want my warranty in place though. Glad it worked out for you.

Sure thing, I can do a cad drawing when I get the chance, in the middle of a bathroom remodel so it might be a few weeks

I hate to ask, but could you give me dimentions on the plastic and wood and how you attached it. I just had to change my ceiling vent due to a leak. Not much to the ceiling structure. I just dont want to get it wrong. What tv mount and tv did you use. Pictures of the outside would be helpful to. If not no worries.

So are you guys riveting to the metal inside roof liner or using sheet metal screws? The thickness between the fiberglass rooftop and the inner metal roof is what... 2 inches?
All look great!

The roof is 1" thick. Not enough to support screws or rivets. .75 wood on inside, .75 plastic on the outside. Sandwiched together. I used crib bolts.

I guess I misunderstood I thought you were saying you had put a piece between the outer roof and inner roof and put screws through them.

Dtptrson I noticed you installed a carefree awning on your camper. I just ordered one for mine. Any tips or advice when I go to install it.
