Only had the Axis 1 day and managed to complete the first mod (started with this because it was the first of many parts to arrive).
I wanted to be able to lower and turn the living area TV in order to make viewing a little more comfortable so I purchased a
MORryde TV56-129H Drop Down TV Wall Mount
Installation took about 1 hour after I figured out how I wanted to mount it (took me longer than that just to figure out how to post this stuff).
This mount blocks a considerable portion of the doorway when the TV is lowered so exercise caution if you have people running in and out of the RV
1st I removed the TV, there a 2 release levers behind the TV that separate it from the wall bracket. Then I removed the existing bracket from the wall, and the plate attached to the back of the TV.
The wood backboard that the wall bracket was attached to was actually 2 pieces of 1/2 inch plywood stacked on top of one another, so I removed one and left one in place.
I then cut a window into the existing wood trim and trimmed around it with some mahogany trim I had, this would allow the new TV bracket to mount flush to the 1/2 inch backboard.
Unfortunately the new mount has a much larger foot print so the bottom extends onto the trim above the door, I didn't screw into the bottom of the mount and through the door trim, so I added extra screws into the upper part of the mount and found it to be more than adequate.
Finished install.
The next pictures are from the drivers seat, the sofa, and one with the TV stowed.
