    That looks pretty cool. Any pics of what type of bracket you used?

    I might end up giving that shot. Since my original response, I've switched companies and gotten my own truck. I recently purchased a 24 in flat screen and one of those under cabinet mounts and screwed it into the bottom of the top bunk. However, it's obviously not meant for the bumps and such of road travel and I have to unhook the TV from the mount while driving to prevent damage. So I might have to try one of these out.

    My bf decided to go with a smaller tv but his was very simple to mount. He used heavy duty Velcro on the tv and hooked it to the carpeting on the top of the cabinet in his Prostar. The tv doesn't budge at all yet he can move it anytime.

    No I haven't bought it yet. I emailed the guy to see if it was a direct fit to the cascadia but he said I might have to drill 1 hole because the gap where the bolts go through the cabinet aren't spaced the same. If I decide to do it that way I don't think the company would even notice the new whole. I might even go as far as cutting down 2 pieces of sheet metal about 2" x 4" to put on the top and bottom side of the cabinet just as addition stability.

    Let us know how you guys like it, and how you mount it in a Cascadia if that's what you have. I'm considering it but would like to read a review about it from a source other than the site you order it from.
