In today’s media-centric society, taking to the streets no longer means leaving everything behind. The consumer electronics market has seen big sales in tablet devices, smartphones and HDTVs with no signs of slowing down. With media players, satellite and Wi-Fi, travelers can stay connected to entertainment, news and business from almost anywhere they travel. The latest and greatest RVs on the market come standard with flat screen TVs and built-in media centers, but what if you don’t own the latest and greatest?

Fortunately, online retailers have the TV mounts and mounting brackets you need to install computer monitors and televisions in your RV, whether you’re adding new ones or replacing old tube televisions. Various types of mounts and brackets are also available, giving you flexibility in placement and functionality. Here is a list of six common mounting types and uses:

1. Wall mounts for flat TVs

Flat TV wall mounts are very simple, making them an easy and inexpensive option for DIYers. They are perfect for mounting TVs flush to the wall in a fixed position.

2. Tilt mounts

The tilt mount is a more popular option than the flat TV mount because it allows the TV to tilt up or down for a better viewing angle. With the ability to adjust the tilt, TVs can be mounted above eye level, adding flexibility to TV placement.

3. Load slider mounts

If you’ve ever wanted to watch TV while sitting outside your RV, the cargo slider is a great option. Install this heavy-duty mount in a basement cargo space for slide-out use of up to a 40-inch LCD TV. You’re sure to be the envy of the trailer park.

4. Under Cabinet TV Mounts

Ideal for smaller sized TVs, under cabinet TV mounts are great for use in the kitchen or other locations with overhead storage cabinets. The most popular under cabinet mounts fold neatly against the bottom of the cabinet when the TV is not in use and also tilt and swivel for flexible viewing.

5. Articulating mounts

Articulating TV mounts are a popular mounting style due to their range of motion. With the ability to swivel from side to side, the articulating mount is ideal for spaces with more than one vantage point. The bracket also allows the TV to fit close (although not completely flush) against the wall when not in use or when tilting is not necessary.

6. Desk mounts

This mounting style is gaining popularity with RV owners who want to add computers to their travel accessories. They are compatible with televisions and computer screens and can be mounted on a desk, counter or shelf.

With the use of TV mounts, you can mount your televisions or computer monitors almost anywhere and any way you like. Whether you want your TV to pull out, stand up, slide forward, tilt down, swivel, lower, extend, or swivel, many online retailers sell RV TV mounts from trusted brands to make it happen.
