I used a grinding stone on my Dremel to enlarge the slots to fit larger bolts my new tv's needed, real PIA!

The connections for the bedroom tv on the Seiki exits out the sides the tv, the Samsungs exit straight out the back, had to cut a notch in the door to allow for the connections, didn't care since it can't be seen anyway. Haven't done the outside tv yet.

After changing the tv's I did a channel search on over the air channels, the digital tuner pulled in over twice as many channels!!! Made it worth the effort, expense, and trouble!

Dave they sell HDMI connectors that swivel. That's what I had to use when I changed out the tv in the Vegas.

well, we pick up our 29M on Saturday and I just spent a lil over a grand on power filtering, tire monitoring and steering damping. At least I think that's the end of the initial heavy hitters

Hi guys We had the same issue. You have to turn the antenna off.
Come to find out there is a very small push button next to the co axle connection where you can connect a DVR. It's hard to see so use a flash light. It is to the right side on the cover plate. Push it to turn the antenna off. It is located in the 1st cabinet to the left above the dinette table.

Wish that was the answer but it isnt. Antenna button was off. The problem is the cheap Seiki tv. Some have the needed quam tunners but most do not. Without the tuner the cable will not work.

Have never seen those, will keep that in mind when I change the outside tv. Already cut the door but like I said it doesn't show. Thank you!

My bedroom Tv died so I replaced it with a Visio with built in chromecast one million times better !

It looks like the tv is wider but not as tall. When I measured I was pretty sure a 36" would fit, not sure about a 40". I'm going to measure again when we get the coach back from warranty, I may move the tv to the outside since I haven't replaced it yet and see about a 36 or 40" for the living room.

Dino,
i wonder if they moved or ibcreased the size of the metal support plate the bracket screws into to get the 40 to fit
Im with Dave. Ill do a lot of measuring to see what will fit. Bigger the better.

The beatiful Kern River

Doc, we have an AXIS 24.1 and the steering was not fun bringing it home. I swapped out front and rear sway bars for larger bars, added Safe-T-Plus. The biggest change was taking the RV to a Truck Repair Shop and having the Caster Bushing replaced with an adjustable bushing and another alignment. What a difference!!! With what changes we have done makes driving a pleasure now. One handed driving is possible now. Next addition is a Track Bar to keep the rear of the RV over the rear wheels when a Semi passes. Best wishes.

Quick mod at the campground. Maria hated the side valences on the rear bedroom window. She always bumped into them when climbing into bed. So off they came. Two screws on top one on the bottom. I also had to remount the tension bracket for the blinds. They screwed into the bottom screw hole for the valence. Now there is a few extra inches of room.

Next week ill order a single rolled night shade from Steves blinds. Hopefully ill be able to secure it well enough to work. This will be much better than the origibal pull down shade.
