    I have a question for you. Where would you go to find the requirements for placards?

    Depends on the company.I see you're a wannabe,most starter companies make drivers sit so yes you have all kinds of time.

    Don't listen to those boneheads. Don't apologize for your post. Asking about TV size does not mean you're going to be an unsafe driver. There are plenty of unsafe drivers who don't have tv's.

    Probably but I haven't. Lol Actually I have season 1-9 of ncis in my truck so I don't spend time in TV room with drivers that have been a month without a shower.

    The best way I've found is to mount the TV directly across from where you sleep. When you prop up a few pillows behind your back you're looking directly at it. You just buy a normal flat screen tv mount and use self tapping screws to sink the bolts into a support brace.
    I was in a Cascadia and 32" fit. I would recommend getting a LED TV to reduce the power usage. If you're running a wired in inverter it can drain the batteries somewhat quickly.

    I just put movies on my macbook pro 13" and watch it if I got some spare time before SLEEP time in the bunk. And that way I have a laptop handy as well if needed. I can see my 13" perfectly fine 6' across from my head in the bunk lol.
