I've finally finished up on the TV location/installation mod... The TV is made portable to be installed at the campsite ONLY. When leaving the campsite, the TV is suppose to be removed for traveling...
2014 Scamp layout 2 with Larger bed. Supersonic 13.3 1080P 12v LED TV and Sony Wifi Bluray player addition to side of cabinet next to dinette where fire extinguisher is located. As some people have stated, sound level is low with many flat panel tv's so I added a pair of Creative Inspire T10 speakers that I keep in the over the side window cabinet and just plug into the TV headset jack. Very loud and rich sound with plenty of base. Used Video Security Model ML12B wall mount for TV and G Force GF-P1124-779 DVD bracket, purchased from Amazon. Dvd bracket can be used vertical or flipped up to horizontal position.
Added an electrical outlet to the cabinet as well as a cable connection outlet by running a new circuit from the electrical panel under the "driver side" dinette seat and ran the Romex through the small space between the carpet and back wall into the other under seat space with the fresh water tank and then into and up the side cabinet where the TV is mounted. Nice clean out of the way, and permanent mount.
They make an outlet with two USB ports. It cuts down on dealing with power adapters. They are about $25 from the big box stores. I usually install at least one in the trailer or install one when adding outlets.
just finished installing a bracket for my 13" GPX tv/dvd. Cords removed because I have one for 12v boondocking and one for 120v RV Parking. 12v cord comes thru a small hole behind that shelf you see from the closet where there is a 12v socket with 2 additional USB sockets for phone/tablet charging. 120v cord comes up the corner there behind the fire extinguisher from the outlet under the bed. They both get rolled up and tucked into a bin when not in use, so only 1 out at a time. I also have a 50 mile HDTV antennae for boondocking. Don't always get many (or sometimes any) channels that way, but it's good enough for the little bit I watch tv when camping (and even less when boondocking)
Great idea nice and simple love it thanks
