Mounting a Flatscreen TV in the truck

most of the guys i've seen had them mounted to the back wall.

 

Can you post some photos?

 

Yeah, stand up to our company and rip it out. That's a good way to keep your job.

 

I have a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia and I installed a 24" TV in here via my own method.

I bought two metal hooks at Home Depot, like the kind people screw into walls to hold towels and such. I found screws that were the proper size for the mounting holes that are on the back of all flat screens. I screwed the two hooks into the TV, then I bought one of those cargo bars for pickup trucks, the ones that are basically like miniature load locks. I stretched the bar across the foot of my bed and hung the TV on it with the hooks. This caused the TV to lean too far forward, so I wrapped a bungee cord around the base and hooked it into one of my cabinets to pull the TV up so it hangs properly.

I did originally have a problem with the bar falling when I went ver really bumpy spots, so I used two small screws into the wall to hold it in place. My company doesn't like this as well, but I doubt anyone would ever notice they were there given their location.

I've attached a photo of what this looks like. I just use a 24" TV myself and hang my clothes on the rest of the bar, but there might be enough room for a 32" up there. I have to admit though that the 24" is more than big enough, I think a 32" would really hurt your eyes when sitting so close.

And finally, my only comment on eLogs: I wouldn't trade mine for anything. I love the fact that when I'm out of hours, no one can say anything or try to convince me to keep running when I don't want to. 11 hours per day is plenty, and I have no problem getting 2800+ miles per week, even with the 30 minute break. Of course, I've learned to keep that left door shut pretty much all the time, which definitely makes all the difference.

 

I have been trying to figure out a way to do that. I have not been assigned my truck yet but now have an idea of how to mount a flat screen.

 

Its not straight 10 in sleeper. I run off duty 2 hrs shower, food, bs, then 8 hrs sleeper then back up. And do it all over again.

 

I got mine mounted using a L bracket and to that one bolt holding the upper bunk bracket
