What size TV is that?

I have a 32" just literally doing nothing but taking up space that I'd like to incorporate, but I've never figured out how.

Since I want to be able to still do some hauling of cargo and toys, I keep thinking it would have to be a mechanism to fold the screen flat against the wall for storage.

All I ever wind up doing is putting some shows on a laptop and watching a couple before bed. It's really all I need, but it just feels like there's a TV going to waste and it seems like a challenge.

Maybe I'll put it on the outside!

It's a 32" TV. Fits real nice against the wall and doesn't get in the way. I used this mount:

Got the king Jack antenna installed this morning. It was easier than anticipated. I still need to build the from storage and get all wiring buttoned up.

Gunman.... I like your build so far. I really wish I had gotten the ceiling completed as you did. Live and learn though. I also Like your rustic elements. As far as the bed goes, I think what you have looks great. and if it works for your needs then awesome. Are you ever going to take a 4 wheeler out with you? Or are you going to use your pickup? I haven't started building my beds yet. That is the very last thing I will do. Kind of like a final stamp. But I do know that I want to keep a 5x8 area for it... So i adjust. Like the a/c door too. Very nice!! I will keep following... :beer: :thumbsup:

Ya I'll just load my atv up in the bed of my truck. I thought about building a Murphy style bed for awhile and then finally went with just a daybed frame. It's only me and my 5lb chihuahua that will be in it during hunting season and BBQ comps so the extra space isn't needed but if it ever comes about that I do need it it won't be hard to take that bed out and go another route. Ya I got the ceiling done and had 4ft LED lights out in. It gets bright in there lol. I'm going to build storage cubbies under the bed for clothes and stuff. I got the window ac idea from someone on here. When I build the front cabinet it will have a spot that holds the window ac when not in use. Also decided to go with a hanging electric fireplace heater to add a little home feel to it.

Nice setup! I'm doing the same thing, I ordered a 8.5'x18' plus v-nose with 7' interior height to take to BBQ contests. My smoker is a cabinet pellet so I can roll it in and out. My trailer should be here around September 1st so I've got about 3 weeks to get as much done as I can before heading to the American Royal in Kansas City. Got any trailer suggestions for a fellow smoker?

After using it this past weekend having a nice bed, ac, TV, and running water is essential. It's a pain without running water. It's nice to sleep in a memory foam bed after turn in lol got a nice nap in till the results time. I ordered an A1 Custom Pit from Custom Pita in Ivor VA. How do you like the pellet smoker? I didn't want anything that relied on electric because I've been to a lot of comps where the power goes out. Happened 4 times this weekend.
