It has now been a week and a half since we had access to a TV. It's not cable or satellite that we miss, we've only had local channels for years - it is the video games - specifically the PS3! Also being able to cast YouTube to a larger screen...
So today we called Keystone and asked about their recommended size of TV to mount in the trailer. There are two places for TVs to be mounted. We are interested in tackling the one in the main cabin first. They said 32" max, which was larger than I thought we could have. My parent's trailer came with a 19" TV, so I was thinking smaller. So today we set out to purchase a TV and swivel mount.
It turns out, as most things do, that we didn't get it right on the first excursion. Did I mention that our trailer is an hour from all decent stores and services? It's a lot of driving for shopping. So we got back today and realized that the pre-wired place for the TV in the main cabin is in a really crappy spot. It's crappy because the TV has to extend 13.5" past the cabinets and then turn 90 degrees so that someone sitting on the couch can see it. There is absolutely no way a 32" TV will fit there and be watchable. On the up side, a 32" TV can fit beautifully in our room...so we will probably keep it and get a more simple mount for our room. We will run back to the various electronic stores tomorrow and see if we can find a smaller TV and a better option for a mount.
