Tv Mounting

Got another question what is a good way to mount a 32 inch flat screen tv inside a 2017 cascadia freightliner?

Easy.. Go to walmart and buy a good swing arm mount for a flatscreen tv (ours is 32" also). We are in a Freightliner Cascadia and have the mount bracket bolted to/through the inside front of the cabinet just behind the jump seat. The tv tucks flat against the front inside facing the sleeper and can be watched in that position in the sleeper, Or the swing arm can be pulled out allowing tilt the tv a bit and you to watch it from either the sleeper or the drivers seat when parked.

The mount costs about $50 and we used heavier bolts with nuts and large washers than the mount kit originally came with. The larger washers was to add more support to that flimsy cabinet so the bolts wouldnt pull out.

To keep the tv from swinging around when the truck is moving, we use a very tiny bungee that is hooked to the back of the plate attached to the tv from a tiny hole in the inside upper back part of that opening/storage cubby. We just unhook it when we are parked and want to swing the tv out.

To mount the tv this way, we had to put 2 holes through the cabinet that are hidden by the sleeper curtain. We did get approval from our company to drill these holes. When the tv is secured it does stick out of the cubby about 5" or so, but not far enough to really be in the way.

. ok thank you very much because I was worried that a 32 in wouldn't fit

From the driver's seat sitting sideways.

The actual swing arm mount.

Hidden behind the sleeper curtain.

Tucked flush against the cabinet for rolling down the road. Our satellite receiver is sitting on the shelf and doesnt hinder the movement of the swing arm mount. The edge of the shelf keeps the receiver in place so it doesnt require straps. The wiring for the receiver was installed by WST and runs through the lower storage cabinet and underneath the cab of the truck and up the back outside of the cab to a satellite dome that they also mounted for our use. WST does not provide or allow this in all trucks, but is a "perk" of longevity as a company driver.

I hope these pics help. Remember to ALWAYS have permission from your company before drilling ANY holes.
