This is great! One of the reasons my wife and I are full-timing is because I would listen to RUclips channels like Nomadic Fanatic and Chris & G Travels for influence and advice. If I were still working in a cubicle (and had access to unlimited internet... you know how it is lol), I would listen to every one of your videos as soon as it came out. You are doing an awesome job with showing the rv lifestyle and I think you have the right personality to make it big on RUclips. Right now, unfortunately, the only times we can watch your vids it on cafe wifi but I'm here at a Starbucks in the northeast lovin every video. Good stuff.
New subscriber! 👋🏼 you have the same inside as my Minnie winnie winnebago 24v ! Just bought her! And so far your videos and comments are helping me learn about her!!😊
Thanks for sharing this. I just watched it to help me figure out how to add a flat screen to my Class C motorhome. Thankfully I am tackling this project in November in Louisiana. I don’t have a mechanical/engineering mind at all so being able to see how it is supposed to work helps me so much!
thank you for sharing, just got a rig my self, and wanting to learn as much as possible, Im in florida also, and this heat can really be something else, oh and just sub to your channel, like your style, happy RVing
Cynthia you’re more than welcome to come along😊 I know what you mean about funds... keep hoping I got “Partial-Lotto” so I can do everything all at once! Don’t need it all, but some would be nice🤗
You should have an outlet in the compartment where the shore power is located. You plug your sure power cord into that outlet when using the generator and it powers your rig just like as if you were plugged into sure power. All campers have it
👍Good job & good info to know. I know you don’t have that rig anymore, but wondering why you didn’t remove the box that the old TV was in before mounting the TV mount arm. 🤔
First of all thank you so much for following along & I hope you enjoy the other videos so far. As for your question, there were still some connections to the antenna and power in the back of the box I didn’t want to have to worry about and the box itself allowed me to have something to mount to😊
any rv with a generator will run all that shore power does thats what a generator is for to create 110 electricity. my onan generator stop giving me 110 electric and i found that tiny trip switch on the side had tripped so i flipped it back on and what do you know 110 power to everything
This video was almost a year ago, so not sure if you're still looking at the comments... Are you talking about a transfer switch? My transfer switch is a big mechanical relay that switches the coach power between shore power and generator power. If you don't have that, what exactly is powered on your coach when your generator is running? Is this something you've resolved?
New subscriber. We have a 2005 Pleasure Way Plateau van-type rv with the original small Samsung LCD installed in a little cabinet in back. The TV has long since died and we have installed a nice new Vizio 24 inch flat screen Smart TV in its' place. Got the install done but now don't know how to hook it up to the existing wiring (roof-top Wingard Antenna). Can you suggest somewhere I can go to get instructions for this ?
Without that 110/generator feature i would go nuts. Does it at least run the AC? Also....why dont you ever use ur AC? I live off mine in the heat. Great videos...just subbed....thanks for sharing.
Great job. 👍..... your generator is supposed to provide power to your outlets. Search the internet or RUclips and find out what is wrong. What's the point of having one if it does nothing? Try to add /replace whatever someone told you needed. Good luck 🤞.
Mark this video was from awhile back and I did figure it out in the end. I look at this and I was soooo young in the RV world 😁 Thanks so much for finding it and commenting
Yea my brother bought a 5th wheel and it had a propane onan 4000 gold generator and it had a plug right inside where the 30 amp shore power cord goes. Unplug it for shore use and plug it back in for generator use. It took him days and I just so happened to stop by and visit him and he was telling me that this nice clean 170hr generator had no power outlet and I was like ummmm how? Started looking and found it unplugged in about 3min lol he made me a filet mignon for dinner that night haha
3/4" most likely MDF with wood veneer cabinets. Lag bolts to hold TV bracket to the fake wood that's only 3/4" thick. Lag bolts stick out of the wood to grab curtains, shoulders or whatever they want to poke! As a minimum should have come from the outside going in with bolts, washers, lock washers and nuts. The strength is the bolt going through the wood and metal of bracket. Not the fake wood. I would love to know how many miles you drove until the weight of the TV and bracket ripped right out of the wood. My .02
Sounds like you need a transfer switch. Until you get one all you need to do is plug your shore power cord into your generator. Not as convenient but zero dollar work around.
I know I am going to sound silly but since I have no clue just looking for answers . I saw a "RUclips "video a couple of weeks ago where the guy stated if you go into bestbuy and you look behind the tv's as long as the cord can come out you can swap it for a 12 volt dc power cord. I see comments that say RV tv's cost more but if you can do that would that just be the simplest option ?
@@biker_dudefastlane9339 you dont have to buy 110 v or 12v... you can buy 19 v tv ( lg/samnsung) which is not expensive like 12 volt...also possible to buy all inches when you buy 19 v..but you have to buy a universal adapter which increase 12 volt to 19 ( in turkey it is 10-15 usd )...I did like that and it worked..

The pic shows a 24' Itaska Spirit - just like mine ! LOL !!!

I’ve done it twice and it gets a little easier each time👍🏿
I am in the process of moving our tv, that spot you put yours in I didn't even think of. Thats where its going now, lol.Thanks for the video. Subbed.
Wow! Glad I could help out. It was the perfect spot for me in that rig.🤓
Thanks RV Jedeye! I just purchased the Cheetah mount for my 98 Minnie. Can't wait to get rid of the old ugly tv!
That's so cool! I've used the Cheetah mount twice and love it!👍
thank you for sharing, just got a rig my self, and wanting to learn as much as possible, Im in florida also, and this heat can really be something else, oh and just sub to your channel, like your style, happy RVing
Well congratulations! It’s truly a lot of fun even some of the hard times😊
RVs have a definite learning curve.
Oh yes they do and I'm still learning! lol
this was very useful, I myself have 2003 class a with box tvs
So glad it helped 😁
I'm trying to get out on the road but funds are tight I will just travel with you in your videos.😁
Cynthia you’re more than welcome to come along😊 I know what you mean about funds... keep hoping I got “Partial-Lotto” so I can do everything all at once! Don’t need it all, but some would be nice🤗
Love your shirt! lol Thanks for the video - we will be doing this, too.
Cool! Glad you liked the shirt and can't wait to see what you post when you get out there. :)

Vinny BoomBots I learned a lot with that rig and that was one lesson😜
You did good for what you had. Hey.....we're all new at stuff until we do it and learn :)
Richard thanks! I learned a lot with that rig😊
cool I have been trying to figure out how to do this without a new cabinet
cool video man, I think that is the best way to learn is to try and when you fail ask lol. Overall good stuff be safe out there.
Luis... thank you so much!
Nice video and thank you for sharing ❤🐕🐕🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Always 😊

David, your rig doesn't have an inverter?

If you don't have that, what exactly is powered on your coach when your generator is running? Is this something you've resolved?
Yes... I resolved it by getting a new RV lol That's not why, I was so new when I did this, looking back I probably could have figured something out. 😁
Do you still recommend this particular TV ?
100% it was so good when I got my next RV I put one in again and still love it😁
Great video thanks !!!
You got it😁

Wow, sounds like you did a lot😁 I wish I could help, not sure other than a dealer. Let me know what you end up doing😊
It's ok if you call 110. Because 220v duplicate 110v. Here in México we say. 110, 115 and 120v
Thanks 😊
Ok well done . I like have to drill into the wood not the wall so this is good
Hope it helps👍🏿
sweet The Jedeye lounge looks like a happenin place lol
Vinny BoomBots It really was RIP😜
Did you get locking mount?
That one was not a locking mount🙁
Without that 110/generator feature i would go nuts.
Does it at least run the AC?
Also....why dont you ever use ur AC? I live off mine in the heat.
Great videos...just subbed....thanks for sharing.
David thanks for following I really appreciate it. I've got to get better about turnng on the AC.😀

@@RVJedeye Good to know you found your problem 👍
You never turned the tv on Does it work?
lol I guess I never did in this video, sorry about that. It did and I loved it!😁
Jedeye Lounge.... lol nice!
Thought it was a good name for it Angie. You like? 😋
If you have a generator you only have to plug your shore plug from your motorhome into your generator to make it useful in RV
Thanks I figured some things out after this lol😊
Yea my brother bought a 5th wheel and it had a propane onan 4000 gold generator and it had a plug right inside where the 30 amp shore power cord goes.

Thank you so much hope you like😊
Sounds like you need a transfer switch. Until you get one all you need to do is plug your shore power cord into your generator. Not as convenient but zero dollar work around.
Richard thanks. Although when was doing this I didn't have shore power to plug into :(
why not just get a 12 volt dc tv so it works all the time, and you dont have to use the generator or shore power to watch tv.
Chris... quite frankly I didn't even think of that. Still so new to the RV world. Thanks for the heads up!
The cost is something to consider. A 12 volt is usually double the price of a standard tv.
I know I am going to sound silly but since I have no clue just looking for answers . I saw a "RUclips "video a couple of weeks ago where the guy stated if you go into bestbuy and you look behind the tv's as long as the cord can come out you can swap it for a 12 volt dc power cord. I see comments that say RV tv's cost more but if you can do that would that just be the simplest option ?
Solar with an inverter would be a better choice because it could be used to power other things
@@biker_dudefastlane9339 you dont have to buy 110 v or 12v... you can buy 19 v tv ( lg/samnsung) which is not expensive like 12 volt...also possible to buy all inches when you buy 19 v..but you have to buy a universal adapter which increase 12 volt to 19 ( in turkey it is 10-15 usd )...I did like that and it worked..
That's why you don't buy on 120 volt tv . You try to find 12 volt ones
Fair enough 😉
LOL you have to stop going to camping world!!!
I have to be honest... while there have been a few bumps and bruises, for the most part Camping World has been good to me, so I can't hate right now.
Ok maybe wear glasses that obscure RVs when you are there....
I'll keep that in mind! lol
