We had the same question, where to mount LCD TVs? We took the old tv out of the center and made it into an entertainment center with satellite receiver, DVD player, Mac Mini with an extra hard drive and a big amp for woofers.
We mounted a 40″ TV on the wall that backs up to the bathroom sink/mirror and slides the house TV on the mount when we go on trips. This wall is only available on one GV model. I ran both HDMI and VGA cables in the belly and up through the wall. This wall area will take up to 46 inches on our 102″ U300. Probably a little less on earlier models.
A 22″ HD display was mounted on a Kensington arm next to the pull-up and out table. A laptop can be be used on the table and plugged into it. Bluetooth keyboard pictured goes to Mini but will work on most laptops also. Monitor/TV can extend and point in any direction. Brought a DVI cable back to it from the Mini. Bought a piece of walnut, stained and screwed it to the wall to secure the mount. Just installed it and thinking of routing out the back so cables are hidden. Kensington arm mount is the one many accountants use in their offices. Available on sale for as low as $39. Very well built and adjustable so TV/display is weightless. Finished work will be neater than the photos show.
If you have not yet purchased a TV/display, an LCD or LED is preferred in an RV over a plasma display. Plasmas are much more sensitive to vibration, altitude and use more juice. Pierce and Gayle Stewart 1993 U300 36″
I installed a 32″ Samsung Smart TV along with a DVD player and switch box so that I could run it through my tuner deck. Simple install.
Took out old 19″ CRT tube and mounted new LCD/LED on the front of the cabinet by putting the TV bottom sitting on 2 2×4’s vertically mounted, bolted to the cabinet flooring and painted everything black to match the TV. Secured the TV top with 2 “L” type anchor screws. The TV can be removed simply by turning these screws 90 degrees and lifting the TV out.
