Mounting a flat screen in a Columbia
I was inquiring on ways to securely and nicely mount a 20 or 24" flat scren in a columbua. I had one mounted before in a previous truck but it was hillbilly engineering at it's worst. It required crude drilling and a tarp strap. I googled this and come up with no commercial solutions so I was wondering if anyone here had any ideas on a nice mount.
Thanks

i plan on making one that hangs from the top bunk in the Columbia. It'll be set of upside-down U at the top, then go straight down for the actual flatscreen mount to attach to. At the bottom, I'll probably just use a bungee of some sort to hold it flat against the sidewall of the sleeper.

that is a good idea, but I was looking to find a way to do it in the TV hole. Perhaps something that fills and clamps to the inside and then using a wall mount bracket.
Thanks for your reply

I can't give advice on where to mount in a Columbia, but I can attest to the fact that standard household wall mount brackets hold up fantastic in a truck. I've had a flat screen in my 379 Pete for about 4 years now, and it's still holding perfectly. Mine is mounted directly to the outside of one of my cabinet doors.

Yep me too, I just turn it sideways and move it back inside the tv opening.
