LCD TVs on the road

[99Limited34]

We take a 23'' LCD with us and just wrap it in a towel and out it on the front couch. Never have had a problem with it..

22 inch lcd mounted to the metal folding door for older tv appiications. I place it backside down on the carpet, streetside,when traveling still hooked up to all the connections. That way it can never fall and the screen is not rubbing against anything. It has the 4 rubber mounts and set up is less than 10 seconds.

i would never travel with it on the wall. O, a new best horrible road. I40 through Oklahoma City. I mean this is the worst stretch yet. I was down to 40 mph.

Ours sets on the floor, against the couch (trailer front), in the box it shipped in.
It rests nicely in its Styrofoam cradle. It can't fall or slide forward when I hit the
breaks. Box goes in closet after tv is setup.

I wasn't going to comment on this thread since there were so many in agreement, our 32" travels on the bed (thick comforter), but the I40 comment really rang true. We came through there last September and could not believe how bad the roads were!

we used to store our 22" LCD on one of the beds also...but I was concerned about all the wear on the three plugs into the TV, from hooking and unhooking at each stop...

We don't use a wall mount, so I drilled two holes in the TV's pedestal base and through the cabinet up front where we always set the TV...this is right up front, close to the fwd windows, and so the road 'bounce' is much less of a issue...we do however, place two small foam pillows between the TV and the cabinet surface to keep the TV from doing any 'rocking' motion on it's pedestal while we're underway - and all those plugs get to stay in place...

the o.p. has a 32 inch tele, brand/model UNKNOWN.

these can be significantly heavier than most of the telez sold with rvs.

the weight may range from 10-30 kgs depending on model.

the o.p also has a 34 foot trayla! which means the back bed is WAY more subject to movement UP/down and sidewayz...

i would not carry a large tv in ANY position (even in the box) at the back of a 34...

although using the box/packing/upright is a GOOD idea, someplace forward inside.

while many of us do transports these gizmos horizontally,

NONE of the manufacturers ship or store them in ANY position other than UPRIGHT.

the o.p. might want to contact tech support and ask the manufacturer...

or post more details.

cheers

Hit the brakes hard and it will end up in the hallway. I used to travel with my computer on the bed. I had some one cut me off and brake right in front of me. The computer end up against the couch up front. It traveled on the couch from then on.

We use a wall-mounted rig for our 12VDC flat screen. It swivels around to enable us to view from either the center bunks or from the goucho...

For on road mode: I've got a bungie cord that holds the screen securely to the bulkhead. If you look closely in the attached foto, you'll see the bungie cord diagonally across the screen...

i have a fun situation in that the TV we bought (28" sanyo flatscreen) was wider than any straight wall we have in the place! our solution was to set it at a comfortable viewing angle on a shelf that hubby built. i put a few screws through the base into the shelf to hold it in place, and to keep it from vibrating back and forth and possibly damaging the connection between the TV and the base, i have 2 eye-hooks, one at the bottom, one at the top, and i strap a bungie cord diagonally across before we hit the road.

4000ish miles so far and still workin fine!
