I currently have a 24 inch mounted in my sleeper and I know I can fit a 28 inch but not sure about a 32 inch. Does anyone else have a 32 inch or more tv in their sleeper that comes on the factory mount. Thanks
Tv size in 2017 KW T680

Is this it?
Take a tape measure, measure the "Reach" of the factory mount to the bolts that goes into the back of Screen.
Then measure how far down you can go before hitting that cabinet below it.
Confirm your 32 inch is shorter than that amount of measuring. If you do not have that 32 and are considring buying one, go to the store and measure it's total height against what is availible from your tractor's sleeper.
Double check the output power that feeds your screen to make sure you can "Drive" the new bigger screen which might take more power.

My trucks at kenworth right now so I was just using the form to see what people said. I can measure it when I get back. I always forgot the small things like that. I’ve been meaning to get a new tv since December but I never think about it when I’m on the road.

Anyone else miss the days when questions from new drivers were "does company x provide good training and will provide the proper tools to do my job safely and efficiently?"
Now its who doesn't hair follicle test and how big a flat screen can i fit in my truck to play on my xbox all night. -
Not had a tv in my trucks in yrs....I usually showering,eating or sleeping when I stop..

Lookin to get a tv I have a 2016 t680 I think a 28 would be perfect, would even go low as a 24 for now

I’m new to posting on here. I have 650k miles so I’m not that new, I just wanted a bigger tv for resets, not sure what’s wrong about that.
Tea Bagged Ya and Recoblade Thank this. -
You know how it is, It's not manly to admit you aren't obsessed with slamming gears, watching for old smokey and care about daily showers. Truth is, we aren't supposed to work 70 hours a week and never see our families! Period! So if having a nicer TV and a microwave in the sleeper makes us feel a little better about our excessive work effort and missing our family, what's wrong with that? Nothing! But to each their own I guess.803chevy, Skyking1955, Aamcotrans and 1 other person Thank this.

I don't work for a company! So they can shove that training where the sun doesn't shine. If I'm stuck somewhere waiting on my next load and can't get to a Best Western, then I need something to do to kill my time. I don't do the X box thing, I'm a little old for that, but I do like movies and I take on line classes as I'm trying to complete some higher education while on the road. It's not all about being lazy, it's efficient use of your down time, which is hard for most of us to avoid. Personally I try to work about a week and stay at home a week. I'm sure that makes me lazy to some, but I have a family business I help my father run and I have several rental properties I try to keep up myself if I can. I don't think I'm exactly lazy. I just don't like living in a rolling box more than I have too, and while I'm in that box, I like to be comfortable.Recoblade Thanks this.

I do not watch much tv, but I have a dumb question, is it really that big of a deal to worry about getting a 32 inch one instead of a 28, I mean how much difference is it going to make.
Shore glad we don't still have the old crawl through sleepers, I bet we would have a driver shortage if we did. lolTx Countryboy Thanks this.
