I am replacing my TV in my 2005 Inspire I have two choices---Please help

I can buy a 32 innch LED TV and fit it in the cabinet and leave about a 5 inch gap on top or bottom.

OR

I can buy a 37 inch LED TV and mount it right to the face of the cabinet, not inside.

Has anyone mounted a flat screen TV like the 37 in to the face of the cabinet, if so how did you do it ?

I did one for a friend, I removed the TV, installed a piece of wood vertically in the opening to braces I had mounted to the top and bottom of the opening, used a swing out wall mount. Mounted the TV to that and secured it against the wall so to speak with snap straps. He uses the swing out to get behind it pretty easily, if needed. He has put over 3,000 miles on the install and has had no problems. He recently had some upholstery work done to the coach at a upscale coach facility and they liked the idea. It covers the hole and looks pretty good as well as being reasonable in price.

Mikee:

Any chance of getting a photo of the install?

Let me see if I can get a hold of him and ask him to take a couple.

I have successfully mounted my new Vizio flat screen HDTV in my '02 Magna. Now comes the problem. There is no "S" connection on the TV. My question is: how do I adapt the "S" cable from the DVD to the TV HDMI? I've tried Best Buy & Radio Shack - no luck. HELP!!! Thank you. Bob '02 Magna 6028

Google: dvi to svideo / dvi to svideo adapter / dvi to svideo cables. You will get lots of hits to check out.

Hmmm,

Me thinks dvi is not the same as HDMI. I agree with Lee.

How could the DW argue against the 'technical need' for the DVR. Go with the flow!

You may have several choices.
New DVD

Coax cable from DVD to TV
5 component (RCA)cables

I doubt you can adapt S video to anything on the TV.

If you need parts for the tv install we used Monoprice.com and got great prices on god equipment. They might have what you are looking for. We bought their best hdmi cables and tv brackets - great prices and quick delivery. Our RV guy uses them all the time. Have Fun.
Safe Travels,
Kathy
