Thanks...got 'em off, thanks...only to reveal the mount is attached with square-headed screws/bolts. Guess I gotta go buy a square-headed screwdriver now, LOL

Alot of your internal Pod screws are the square type.

...wish they'd used square screws to hold the plywood down under the mattress...those sharp-edged deck screws might cut my new mattress, guess I'll cut a sheet of tarp to match the area before putting the mattress down.

On the 2014 178, the t.v. over the bed has been removed and replaced with one on a swivel arm by the door. We won't have to be making that modification.

I chose to use an under cabinent swivel mount...I didn't want to puncture the walls. I have a 19' tv that swivels to view anywhere in the pod. Just flip it up to use the sink :-)

In our 179 we can't watch tv in bed because the mount has no adjustment to get the vertical angle right...it can swing all over horizontally to see it from bed or dinette. Without the vertical angle right it is like watching a color negative. I'm already unhappy about my tv having it a sticker that says it works on 12V and it does not, now this... Did no one at FR ever lie in the bed and see if the tv is viewable? When I call FR customer service about the tv not being 12v I'll also ask about sending me the correct type of mount as well. |

Wow an American Manufacturer that uses Robertson screws. We have used square heads in Canada for years. Never caught on in the States I guess. They were the best screws for power driving until torx came along.

I agree, I prefer square or torx, still not sure torx is better.

Never caught on in the states? Every RV I've owned in the last 40 years has used them..... I like them ok, I don't particularly like the ones they make as a combo phillips and square drive- they seem to easily tear up using either driver |
