I did a Ton of research to get the biggest screen that would fit and also be thin enough to fold up with the mount and slide out. It works perfectly. I have HD Directv and I also wired it in to the outside stereo so that it goes through the external speakers on the side of the coach and the Sub I put in. I have an RF remote so that I can control the directv box outside even with the door shut. If you are in a park you can use thier WiFi for netflix and other apps. It has youtube and a web browser in addition to 3d. If the park doesn't have wifi or you are not in a park, I use my ipad or phone as a hotspot.

good hints / ideas on the iPad/netflix (ive dont that w/ my personal wifi/hotspot - usually dry camping at a race track).

actually my inquiry was more related to the brand/make & model of the slide-out mounting arm, not so much the tv set (but that too is helpful, in that i hadnt considered getting a tv w/ web/browser capability).

ive seen some (side mounts that fold, but nothing that had the fold up & car/stereo attachment)....so im curious who makes your mounting bracket/slide

Sorry brother... I misunderstood the question. Renegade made the original mount and I have modified and fabbed from there. I am pretty sure that I have a picture of what I started with. I should finish it tonight and I will post some pics.

bushpilot · 03-20-2013, 05:25 PM

no need to apologize - i was the one that wasnt very clear.
im gonna bet that renegade sourced that mount/slide from someone....if you get a chance there might be a label or p/n some where on it.

this looks similar to what you may have (retails for about 175) -

THUNDERUSONE · 03-25-2013, 05:04 PM

Ok, here is what I started with and then what I changed too.

THUNDERUSONE · 03-25-2013, 05:06 PM

I modified the mount so that it would rotate left and right. It is pretty cool since it is a smart TV. You can use it as an internet browser. I had it on truckconversion.net last night.

THUNDERUSONE · 03-25-2013, 05:29 PM

Here are a few pics with it tilted toward the front of the truck. It was on Netflix playing an old episode of "My Name is Earl"

THUNDERUSONE · 03-25-2013, 05:34 PM

Here are a few pics of the unit folded up and slid back in in the locked position. I raised the shelf up since this TV was alot thinner to give me more storage room, protect the TV and keep the mount from flexing too much if you hit a hard pothole. The mount is really sturdy. More than likely it will never touch the shelf....but it gives me piece of mind.

Bush, that looks like the same mount I have. There were no part #'s that I could find anywhere. It looks like they either built the slide out box with the 12v car stereo in it or sourced it from another supplier. Then they bolted the tv mount up to the bottom of it. Initially mine did not turn from side to side. It was fixed straight ahead. Getting one that will swivel is definately worth the extra effort based on what little I have used it so far.

Cool! Be sure to get on the front row so you can see the big boat traffic coming in off the Gulf. If I didn't have a commitment Monday, we would go down there for thanksgiving. Another good place that we have been going is Destin, Florida's CAMP GULF RV Park & Campground. It's not too far.from Perdido Cove. You can pull.right up on the beach on the Gulf side.

THUNDERUSONE · 11-23-2014, 06:26 AM

Pics from camp gulf.

THUNDERUSONE · 11-23-2014, 06:35 AM

Here is our place at Windemere Cove | Your Lakefront RV Getaway!. We liked it so much we bought one.

THUNDERUSONE · 11-23-2014, 06:39 AM

Another brand new place that has just opened up.is New RV Resort, Breathtaking Views, Fireplaces, BathHouse, STAY WITH US. It is one of the nicest places.we have been to. It is very close to Gatlinburg. On Douglas Lake. The views of the smokey mountains are breathtaking. I even ran into another Renegade owner there.

i tried to pick a space over the phone when i made the reservation but they told me the front row was full & that the spaces were not assigned until i arrived.

we're gonna head that way tomorrow

my brother in law lives in fort walton / destin so we'll be in his driveway wednesday & thursday night before we head up to perdido key rv on friday morning (early)

I was thinking we might stay monday & tuesday night at St Rosa RV Resort - i didnt necessarily wanna drive the entire trip in one day (was gonna take our time...but plans change when family is involved).

like that place (too)....kinda cool w/ the built in fireplaces & fire pits.

might have to try that - we usually blow thru knoxville (via i75/i40/i81) a couple times a year to and from houston / front royal (va)

If the front row is full, I would probably stay at St Rosa. That place looks nice! That one just went into the must go to list. We may hit that one xmas. Anchor Down is a must. You won't regret it. The pool at anchor down if you are there when it is warm is off the hook!

this trip it isn't so much about the front row as it is being close to our son, he's living just around the corner from the rv resort.

the weather is gonna be kinda cool (50s & 60s) anyway, so something off the water won't kills us

Roger that. It is convenient for sure. They have reserved the front row in the past for us when we would reserve a couple of months out. They may have changed policy with the economy heating back up.
