Flat screen mounting bracket

Someone recently mentioned that they had used a bracket that was so easy to install and so effective that either MOT or FOT was going to make it their bracket of choice.

I can't locate that particular item, but the bracket used by George Hatfield looks good.
We are in the process of planning to replace the front TV that died and I am trying to figure out how to make a new flat screen TV work without making any modifications to our cabinet.  The previous owner of this coach did install a Sony flat screen TV within the
cabinet and had the cabinet depth reduced substantially so it does not stick out as far.

Your help and suggestions will be appreciated.

I bought a tv that fit perfectly inside the cabinet, then made wooden brackets that "trapped" the tv to the front of the cabinet.

We bought the Mor-Ryde bracket (short mast.)  It fits inside the the wooden cabinet and will allow your TV to lock to the outside, or you can unlock when parked, and it will tilt and change angle.  We replaced the 22" which fit inside the cabinet with a 32" which fits outside .  When we showed it to Keith at MoT, he was quite impressed and interested in where we got it.

George: We bought a 26 inch Vizio TV that only required the removal of the big OEM Box.

The hardware we used is the Model TV40-001H.  If you decide to use this product, be sure to order the short mast version. . .I think it's 7 3/8" high.  They don't show it on the online catalog Mor-Ryde but they had both heights at the last Escapade. . .it takes a phone call to order  574.293.1581.  I think it was around $200 + shipping and it comes with all screws and mounting bolts.
