Replacing the antique television.

The original TV in my RV was physically huge but a small screen.  Plus I never actually got it to work correctly (although I didn't try hard).  I always knew I was going to replace it.  I had this extra flat screen TV in my house and I finally got around to buying the bracket I needed. 

I got a fully articulating bracket from BJ's for $80.  They had one that would have fit the TV for $50 but I wanted the extra length in the arms so I could move it around the corner so I could watch it from the rear bed or the front area.  Plus I figured it would be better to have a stronger bracket in the RV.

I have a digital converter box that the previous owner had.  I hooked it up and found 3 channels.  I think it may work better if the antenna on the roof wasn't missing 1 of the rabbit ears.  I'll probably only hook a DVD player and VCR up to the TV so my son can watch a movie before bed or nap time.  If I go to a campground that has WiFi I will probably grab my roku box and hook it up so we can watch Netflix.

Here is a pic of the old TV

And the new TV on the bracket in the stored position.  I would like to build a ledge or something so when I am traveling it is braced and not bouncing on the arm all the time.
