Hi All - We're looking at purchasing an RP-179. One of the units does not have the Jensen LCD TV installed and the dealer would have to mount it. Is the TV normally mounted/installed by the dealer, or are some models just equipped that way from the factory? I assume it really doesn't make a difference whether its dealer installed or done by FR, but wanted to check. Thanks.

We have a 179 and the TV was mounted. The mount they use has no up/down movement just side to side. We replaced our mount with a full motion mount " http://www.amazon.com/gp/r.html?R=3LHPRGSKE9E8J&C=3T5MUR8F9569O&H=DEAA2QOPHQIBMWFOWONFGWU9H4IA&T=C&U=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB000ID7QNI%2Fref%3Dpe_385040_30332200_TE_item - VideoSecu

Great tip on the mount. Thanks. Does the 19" feel big enough, or would something a little larger be better (say 22").

The 19" is okay for us. It's just the two of us and we don't watch alot of TV ------------- Gary and Jill Winters Bella Golden Retriever 2014 Silverado 1500 2015 R-Pod 179 -(SOLD)

I wish my 179 didn't have the TV already- the mount FR uses is lousy since, as mentioned, one can't tilt the antenna for proper viewing angle when lying in bed. Even worse the FR supplied TV is 110 V ONLY, doesn't work on 12V. I could have DIY'd a better system for half the money- caveat emptor. ------------- 2014 179 Towed by a 2015 Ford Transit Diesel Supervised by a German/Aussie mix and a Labradoodle! |

| How did the replacement mount look covering up the holes from the factory mount? |
