    I'm hoping some of you could post a few photos of how you have your flat screen mounted in the sleeper? I don't want a big TV, so a 19" or so would be good. The last 70" sleeper I had, I mounted it on the bottom shelf on the passenger side but didn't like how it completely blocked the whole shelf.

    Please let me know how you mounted your TV and how big it is... Thanks!

    I thought so to. Talk about burning the retinas.

    Well don't have one in my truck but my Rv I used a swivel armed bracket so it can swing move and tilt , these brackets run almost as much as the screen mine was about 120$ I am sure its sturdy enough to hold up to a 50" or so , obviously more than you need but its a one size fits most , check around electric stores they should have options.

    4" screws and a drill.

    On a serious note you have to open wall panels and find a beam or hard surface as to set your bolts so they dont go out through thw sleeper laminate

    I mounted mine to the front of the inside of the middle cabinet on the passenger side on a swivel mount. I've got a 22 inch tv mounted and I swing it out when I want to watch it and swing it back in when I don't. The tv shares the cabinet with my printer. I was worried about it pulling the bolts thru but I used a good sized backing plate, I travel some horrendous roads in the patch hauling frac sand in fact some are so bad top speed is 5 or 6 mph and it hasn't had any problem with falling off. I'll take a picture of it either tomorrow or Monday if you want.
