Gerald is right, we installed a 46" Samsung in ours and it is so much thinner and lighter than the old .30". We feel it's one of the best upgrades we have done.

Hi Gerald,
Did you use an angled mounting bracket? If you did ,is it attached to a flat surface where the door used to be or to a bracket that fits under the locker?  
My Sony Bravia 32 inch LCD HDTV weighs 37 lbs.  I want to mount it in a similar position to yours using a wall mount ( tilted forward 15 deg ) attached to a plywood board screwed into the old locker opening.

Jeremy ,
There is no bracket holding the TV. It is held in with "L" shaped adapters that are fastened to the back side of the TV cabinet bezel. In other words it is edge mounted on the outside edge of the TV, to  hold it in place.

I am away from the coach this week (baby sitting grandchildren in Dallas while their mother is out of the country), but I will be back at home next week so that I will be able to take more pictures of the installation. With more pictures I probably will be able to explain the mount better.

The center two cabinets were removed and replaced with the TV cabinet, and the cabinet above the driver was built new to fit the remaining opening. This allowed the TV cabinet to be mounted closer to the windshield so that the cab drapes (privacy curtains) will just clear the TV cabinet when they are opened or closed. It is also offset to the left of center about 4 inches so that there is no obstruction when going in or out the door.

I had my 98 Marquis modified by Jim and Greg 3 years ago.  I wish I had done it sooner!  Great workmanship.  Those two know all there is to know about the innards of Beaver coaches.

I also removed that crummy Bose and replaced it with a Sony.  Much better and half the price, or less!

Hello Gerald,
   have fun with the grandchildren.  I have one grandson in Toronto ,Canada.  Jane and I are looking forward very much to our visit in August.
  Your installation makes a lot of sense.  I will look forward to seeing how these angle brackets work.
    Jeremy
