We are not sure if it's supposed to and have tried to find some way to unlatch the TV so it will swing out. Any one know?

As far as I know the Wild Cargo SKM is the only unit that the tv swings out. On the other Wild Cargo models it is on the back wall of the living quarters and it will swing through the opening to be used in the toy hauler room. I cannot say for the 33 GKE.

This one appears to be mounted solid and it does not turn to face the toyroom.
I need to have access to the rear of the tv to connect cables.

Karl,
We had PI install the optional swing out mount on our living room and garage TV. If you didn't order as an option I don't think is was a standard feature. See option list below.

Thanks Rick. I guess I missed that option. No problem, I will install one when we get to Vegas next month.

Karl,
In our last FW I bought a couple of LCD mounts from costco here in Edmonton. They worked very well. Here is one on their website. They also have one for $69.00 that says its good for up to 42" LCD.
The nice thing about the one PI install's is that they have a pin lock so you don't have to worry about the TV moving around during travel.
If, you are handy and have the tools you could drill through the mount arm when colapsed and weld a nut over the hole and install this for locking.

Our Tv was mounted to the wall but we bought and installed a More-ryde TV mount that swivels and comes out from the wall. It also locks in place travel. We have liked the result.

When I was in the process of redoing out entertainment cabinet, I had to look at mounts for the new LED TV, the ones that were available locally that I saw appeared to have two sections to the mount. One attached to the wall and the other to the TV...they slide together and a pull down 'hook' locked them together and can't remember what was pulled on to release the hook to allow install/removal.
None of the LCD's we have owned were mounted so don't have a lot of advice on the mounts.

I am going to look into the Mor-ryde tv mount. The lock is a great feature.

In case you missed it, there was a previous discussion on TV wall mounts, including how to get your tv off the current mount, at wall mount flat screen tv. Hope I did that link right.

hi, I am planning to mount a new LED in my 07 30rso- I went to show to look at morrydes articulating mount. When I explained what I was doing he showed me a pedastol mount(TV40-001H) that would work much better. the artic.type lock only when fully retracted and we would have to bungee it in when traveling. best price I found at Tweetys.com.they have either style. I am going to wait til spring to do.
gd luck, Ray
