Our 50" Samsung just went out on our 2015 Cornerstone B. Integra quickly gave us a credit to replace it. The question is, how difficult/easy is it to do? Is it a pretty easy diy?

Not hard at all. Just a couple of bolts in the back and you can reach from the left side and get to them and fewer screws than taking the mount off that holds it. Excellent time to add a tilt and telescope arm so it can be seen from anywhere in the room. It is a little awkward, need two people, one to hold it as you take the last screw out.

Our 2015 50" recently died also. Very easy to do, 8 - screws hold the base of the TV mount. Take off the sound bar first, unplug the TV, unscrew the mount, have someone help to remove the TV and mount, replace the TV on existing mount, reattach the mount and plugs, remount the sound bar and your good to go.

Would it be stable enough for travel with a tilt/swivel mount?

YES, we have had ours for over 5000 miles and some really rough roads and it does not wiggle or squeak at all. Do not need a strap even as it clicks into place and stays put. I did use the heaviest mount I could find.

Any chance you can provide a link to it? I just picked up my Insignia 44B. This sounds like a good upgrade

Go to the thread " TV Mount". I posted some pictures there and also in the thread about telling modifications.

Thanks for all the good info.I like the swivel idea Gene, unfortunately we're heading to Tampa for the big rv show Wednesday and the t.v.won't get here until Tuesday. Would like to have it for the trip. Mike.

Got mine at Best Buy, the bigger ones keep them in stock, only took an hour from scratch to put it in including taking tv off and putting it all back together.

Thanks again Gene, if you can do it in an hour I should be able to do it in three!��

JMD do you live in cape sand blast? If so you are just west(50 or so miles) miles from us. Did your tv go out al of the sudden? Did Entegra allow you to buy a new one on your own?
