Well as usual I’m always behind with technology. The situation is the campground we stay at for two month a year at the coast has went wireless with its cable tv. They switched to spectrum. I had to either purchase a fire stick or a smart tv. The problem was our current tv was 32”. I wanted to purchase a larger one but unfortunately the next size 40” wouldn’t fit. So I had to stick with the 32”. So, figuring this was a 15 minute job……………..Lol. Nope, the new TV bolt area was lower on the back bottom of TV instead of putting it in the center like a normal manufacturer. I ended up having to move the TV mounting swivel bracket down to get the TV centered. And of course the new TV didn’t come with the four screws that fit the bolt holes (M4x10mm). So, after two trips to our hardware store. ( First time purchased just 10mm instead of M4x10mm) and two hours later I’m now SMART. So, why do I still fill dumb. ��

I've been planning a similar swap - the 50" TV that came with our Cruiser Aire is definitely not a "smart TV". I did get a Firestick, but still I don't feel the video quality of the cheap TV the manufacturer put in is what it should be. Also, I'm looking at a 32" TV for the bedroom - but that's going to involve a mounting bracket and the whole works. I'll undertake both projects - but probably not until the weather cools a bit from our 100+ degree days here in North Texas.
 
I hear ya! Just hopefully you can find a good support to attach the bracket to. The new tv does have better picture quality with 1080p. It’s just so light weight. We’ll see how it holds up to the traveling. It does lock in and I do have a support strap to secure it better during travel.
