Question Outdoor TV Mount

[GUS2000]

Has anyone ever changed the outdoor TV mount to one that articulates better and gives better viewing angles??

Depending on the depth of the TV storage bay is will determine what TV type mount you get.

Yes, I did, so much better than what Newmar installed in mine. Just keep in mind some of what they use and consider transferring it such as the strong magnet to help it stay retracted. I also put a bigger TV in.

MOD Thread 'Replaced exterior TV (again) - LG 48 inch 4K'

Sep 2, 2022

Once you go 4K you can't go back and my outside TV was 1080p. I replaced the smaller Newmar outside TV with overflow from my house as new TV's went in, the older ones went to the RV outdoor TV spot. I think Newmar used a 43 and I put 46's in, twice. With poor cable/antenna scanning on top of 1080p (blech) it was time for a treat so I shopped for a 4K TV that would fit. I am typically a Samsung TV guy but finding TV's that fit these spaces has become a challenge these days. Either way too small or too big. I had 42 inches between the lift struts for the door and found LG has a 48 inch 4K...

How is that tv mounted? I can’t see behind it and it feels like it’s screwed to the wall.

 

[Neal]

Yep. It’s just a wood wall.

 

[J&JD]

So, how do you get to the wall behind the tv?

Funny, I've had outdoor TV's in many of my RV'S never had the urge to watch outside, in our early days of camping, we found it annoying sunday afternoons of others blasting Nascar races while trying to enjoy the quiet, please go inside

We have an outside TV and I am wondering if I can somehow turn it into a small outside kitchen. Has anybody else tried?

 

[scottramer]

Here is mine. It is called a fire place mount. It nice because it drops down so you are not looking up at the TV. It was a bit of a project.

The TV pulls out and then you can get behind it.

That is really nice!! do you have a link to what you purchased???

That's the one thing I hate about the outside tv. It's mounted too high to be able to see it with reflections off the screen. I replaced the mount with the same one Neal has that will tilt downward, but it's still hard to see in daylight hours. I was toying with the idea of putting it in the pegboard bin and changing the tv cabinet into a tool area, but with the bay doors hinging on the side, it would be hard to get any view from the front area. We just don't use it much at all, much like the hammock option that takes up all the living area when set up.

I use this type at home. I have not changed any in the RV. I probably will when I change out TVs. I need smart TVs. I’m old school, it’s had to replace if it stills works.

I use Apple TV to stream everything and with that I can use my Apple AirPods (ear buds) to connect to the Apple TV so I can watch outside without anyone hearing it. It also makes it easier to hear the broadcast. But neighbors watching TV doesn't bother me, it's all part of the camping experience, being outside, etc.

I got it on Amazon but it is no longer avalable. This is the manufactur and I think this was the one. My Amazon invoice does not give a model number. Just an FYI, I had to do a lot of searching for one because of the depth of the TV box measure your box depth then TV depth and mounting depth of the mount to make sure you will be able to close the door.
