One more mod_TV swing arm

While we were at mor/ryde doing IS, we purchased one of their "swing-out" TV mounts to replace the basic mount for the outside TV. I just finished installing it. I really like it!!!!!

Sure....it's a Mor/ryde TV1-006H
Multi-Purpose TV Mounts for Medium Flat Panel TV TV1-006H

After installing it, I think I may have been OK with their lighter-duty arm which is the same, just not quite as stout....

This is the link for the lighter version:

Can you give us the technique to remove the TV from the existing bracket? Any wiring extension(s) needed?

Rosey, to remove the TV from the existing bracket, you just grab the bottom of the TV and push it up (spring loaded bracket) and then while it's up as far as it will go, pull the bottom out towards you as it releases from the bracket. I used the same coax cable as well as the same power cable. The new TV mount comes with the flat plate to mount to the back of the TV and all the necessary hardware.

Mike,
Most TV mounts use the VESA standard which means the mounting plate bolt pattern is standardized. So, after removing the TV from the compartment, you simply remove 4 small bolts on the back of the TV that hold the mounting plate to the TV. The new TV mounting plate bolts right up using the same bolts in the same holes (on the back of the TV). The tricky part is determining where to place the bracket on the back wall of the TV compartment. I used the heavier unit and mine didn't line up with the existing bolts on the back wall. In fact, even if it did, the TV wouldn't have been centered in the compartment because of the way the swing arm folds back on itself. It forces you to move the bracket a little to the right (towards the front). It sounds way more difficult than it really is and you will just need to look at it after you pop out the TV to see what I'm saying. Good luck and let me know if you have any problems.

Tim

Did you drill the metal panel and use the lag screws that came with the mount to secure it in compartment.?

Yes, but I was very careful not to over-tighten the lags. I may take out the lags and push bolts out through the holes from inside if I suspect they may loosen up...

Thanks Tim. I plan to put a swivel mount in my new 38RL. I had a 36 RL and used the MorRyde swivel mount in the basement of it. I took the wall down down and used bolts to mount it. I probably will use bolts as well. Wish I would of taken the mount down before I traded it.

Some good info here and this is another bucket list item for us but will take a bit more planning unless someone has a link to a perfect mount. We have the 36FL and the tv is located under the front slide which is OK but about 6' from our awning
What I need to do is build some sort of drop,swivel mount that is also on a draw slide since before the mount can drop and swivel it needs to be pulled out of the storage compartment. Any ideals or this will be a custom build?

Steve

Tim..... Thanks for the detailed info. What I was actually asking was the TV in the living room has a strap down to prevent the swing arm from moving while traveling so did you devise something to accomplish the same thing..... Strap, bungee cord, etc?

Sorry Mike, misunderstood. The TV Mount has a built in locking mechanism. It's a "T" handle that you pull down to release the locking pin. They provide a chain as well to place on the handle to provide extra length so you don't have to reach way up behind the TV to unlatch. I believe you can see it in my pictures

UPDATE:

Finished installing my exterior Mor-ride Swing arm TV mount today. I took Tims suggestion and ordered the "lighter duty" TV-1021H for TV's around 35 lbs. $89.61+ shipping from MAKARIOS RV.COM VS. the "heavier duty" TV1-006H $98.88+ shipping. Really a quality made mount & is plenty durable for this mod. You do have to take your time to properly position the mount so that there is clearance for the TV to properly swing out. I made a cardboard template the exact size of the TV and taped it to the face of the mount (that actually attaches to the rear of the TV) and positioned it before securing, to make sure that there would be proper clearance later on. I was able to get my hand around the back of the metal wall (couple of small openings to do so) to actually get a few bolts & nuts thru but it's kinda tricky & be prepared for scraped elbow(s). Used the supplied lag bolts in other spots on the mounting plate......it's not going anywhere. If you guys do this mod just take your time & think it out & it should go well. A shame that Redwood didn't do this in the first place !
