I am getting ready to do the same, but I am thinking of ways to make the empty area where the old TV sits accessible for storage, maybe small things like cell phone chargers, small power supplies. Your information on the mounting problem with glare saved me some time, I would have never thought of that. Thanks…..Jim..

A cubby behind the TV is a great idea! My initial thought is you’d need to build a cabinet front for the TV to be attached to. If you installed shocks the door could be held open while you access the cubby. Just a thought on how it could be done.

Glare was a nuisance! 🙂 Glad we could help!

How is that bracket holding up? We have a similar one, for a tv about the same size, maybe a bit smaller, but we haven’t installed it yet, because we’re worried it will pull out of the wall from all the vibration when traveling, since it’s not made for rv use. Have you noticed anything giving way at all, or a lot of up and down motion of the tv when traveling? Thanks!

Hi Sarah! Since we took that front frame off and screwed the plywood into the frame inside TV cubby, placed the front frame back on and attached the wall-mount bracket it’s very secure. You’re right, not made for RVing but very secure by our estimation. Honestly, we didn’t notice any vibrations or motions when driving, that TV was pretty stuck up there. 🙂 We had talked about removing it when we were driving but since it was very secure and tight to remove, we left it up with zero problems.
