I just installed a 22" Flat Screen HD TV on the front of the overhead berth. I purchased the TV and the wall mount at Radio Shack. The wall mount has 4 axis capability. Prior to installation I asked Barthers if they knew what material was used in the construction of the berth but no one gave me info so I experimented with a small drill first. It is 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch plywood. So I used the wood screws that came with the wall mount and it held just fine. It was very strong and what I like about it is that it has a tapered slide with a hand held lock to keep the TV in place and you can adjust the bed up and down for proper height if you wish. We like it so well we plan to put on another mount on the outside so that we can switch the TV to the outside. Also, the receiver and all the wires including the cable are inside the bed. Any questions regarding installation, let me know. As you can see it is not complicated and it is an easy install.

Clever! I would, however, suggest through bolting rather than depending on wood screws.
