We have a 02 Elite with LQ our problem is we have a special cabinet in the trailer with the roll down door. We have a HD/Digital TV. The TV sets up high on the pull our drawer but with this new TVs we can't see the picture very well unless the TV is tilted where we are looking at it face on. Has anyone had this problem and how in the world did you put your flat sreen tv in the cabinet without having to stand and watch tv 55 Please need some suggestions.

Nine years ago, TVs were in the shape of a box. New TVs are flat panel shaped ... Seems like you could mount the new TV on a box so the panel is on the front edge of the pull out drawer.
Or you might mount the new TV on an arm that extends out of the cabinet.... Like some computer monitors in police cars.

Yes that can be a problem with the newer TV's. Mine's a wall mount and I modified the mount to tilt down more, otherwise you don't get a great look at the picture.

Thanks everyone. We're going to try the swing mount for the TV. We're hoping to put it inside the cabinet wall and not on the outside wall. I will try to post a pictue if it works. :-)

i have the same setup and bought a swing out/ tilt type arm for the tv - and mounted it inside the cabinet. depending on how big the tv is - my tv still swings in/ out of the cabinet and i can even close the roll down door - although i wouldn't recommend doing that. one time it got stuck in the down position. the good thing is my old directv box fits in the cabinet also;) and then you can swing the tv around to watch from the dinette or from the bed.

I would love to see photos of the flat screen TV's that slide in and out of a cabinet. I just bought a 4 Star with 10' LQ. There is an antenna on top of the trailer, but I don't see where the previous owner could have placed a TV. There is not one hole drilled anywhere on any of the cabinets. I would like to get the articulating arm, as long as it has tilt function. Just really want to understand an in-cabinet installation. Thanks all.

Make sure the power button is on for the antenna. The button is located next to where the cable hooks to the wall socket. It should show a green light when the antenna is powered. Can't get nothing on TV without power to the antenna
