Our  2013 177 has the TV and entertainment unit in the center of the back wall directly above the bed.   I know that the newer 177's have a larger TV on the other end of the trailer near the table but we do like watching TV from our bed.  Has anyone moved this TV/entertainment unit somewhere else in the bedroom area and enlarged the size of the TV at the same time?  If so, I would appreciate learning as much as I can from your having done it.

Thanks in advance.

We moved it, but didn't enlarge it.. at 4 or so feet away, well, it's big enough.. LOL.
I built a shelf over the "foot end" of the bed, moved a 120v outlet to the back of the shower wall, and mounted the tv/cd/dvd/radio combo to the bottom of the shelf. Worked perfect. Also, this put the speakers right at the side window, so then we had music in the dome, as our 2011 didn't come with outside speakers.

We enlarged it in our 179 (to 24") but didn't move it. :)

I did have to build an extension onto the bracket so that it would fit flat against the wall when stowed and I have replaced the "head" with a compatible one that swivels up and down.

Thanks to both FURPOD and TheBUM.   These both look like good things for us to consider!
