We have a 2008 keystone sprinter with the swivel TV mount. There's a TV in it now, but I want a bigger one. I'm just wondering what's the biggest I could go? I measured the opening(diagonal), but I dont know if that is just the screen measurements or the plastic too.....

How much room do you have for the TV? TV sets are sized by the diagonal of the screen. (A 32" TV is usually about 31.5 or so diagonally.) Measure how much room you have for the TV and take a tape measure with you when you go shopping.

I have a 32" in the living room and a 27" in the bedroom - both Vizio.

You will have to measure your actual opening and then measure the tv you are looking at. Brands and models vary in overall measurements.

Hi All.

Just a thought for you. Also remember that different Brands and Types of TV Mounts have different "Weight Limits". So be mindful of this also, so your TV doesn't end up on the floor and pulled out of the wall or where ever you have your mount mounted. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

We have a 37" in our Rockwood living room. It previously had a 27", but it was stolen out of our TT in front of our house and we got a great deal on the 37". We put it on a swivel wall mount and it goes up flush against the wall, but not back into the 4" deep opening. We have a set of velcro belts that are attached to the wall on either side and then velcro together in the middle that goes around the TV for transport. Works great and it can be turned if you are laying on the couch and want a full front view.

If you look at the tech specs on TV's online (or the mfg's website), the exact dimensions are usually listed. You have to hunt for it sometimes, but the info is out there.
