    I am going to mount a TV in the sleeper. So anything I should do different than a regular wall mount? I am also wondering if you use a regular TV. Thought it may be to bouncy? Any thoughts?

    Never had a problem with my 30" flat screen

    use a regular swivel wall mount, bought a 2ft piece of chain from lowes, ran the swivel bolt through it, and hang it over the upper bunk stop.

    Rides well, hangs at the right height and angle, still working well after over 3 years.

    Works a lot better if you get an antenna amplier in cub junction with it for pulling in signal in remote areas. Usually get at least several channels in all but the most rural / backwoods / mountain areas.

    I installed one a few years ago. After about a year the mounting area on the back of the TV started to crack surrounding the four bolt holes. So you'll want to watch out for that.

    Some of this will depend on the qualit of the TV. Just saying.

    Best ask carrier before drilling holes, lots of companies frown on this, what I have done, is us a wooden TV tray, folds up sit behind passenger seat, when parked, set up on floor for TV, leave TV on bunk while driving
