Long haul truckers spend a lot of time on the road, and having a TV in their semi truck can help make those long hours more bearable. However, mounting a TV in a semi truck can be a challenge. In this article, we’ll provide step-by-step instructions on how to mount a TV in a semi truck, so you can enjoy your favorite shows and movies while on the road.
Gather Your Tools
Before you start mounting your TV, you’ll need to gather a few tools. Here’s what you’ll need:
- TV mount
- Tape measure
- Marker or pencil
- Drill
- Screws
- Screwdriver
Choose a Location
The first step in mounting a TV in your semi truck is to choose a location. You’ll want to choose a spot that is easily visible from your driver’s seat, but also doesn’t obstruct your view of the road. Some common locations for mounting a TV in a semi truck include the wall behind the driver’s seat, or the back of the sleeper berth.
Measure and Mark the Location
Once you’ve chosen a location, use your tape measure to measure the distance between the mounting holes on the TV mount. Then, use your marker or pencil to mark where the mounting holes will go on the wall.
Drill Pilot Holes
Next, you’ll need to drill pilot holes where you’ve marked the mounting holes. This will make it easier to screw in the screws later. Be sure to use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the screws you’ll be using.
Attach the TV Mount to the Wall
Now it’s time to attach the TV mount to the wall. Line up the mounting holes on the mount with the pilot holes you drilled earlier, then use your screws and screwdriver to attach the mount to the wall.
Attach the TV to the Mount
Finally, it’s time to attach the TV to the mount. Most TV mounts come with screws that you can use to attach the TV to the mount. Simply line up the holes on the back of the TV with the holes on the mount, and use your screws and screwdriver to attach the TV to the mount.
That’s it! You’ve successfully mounted a TV in your semi truck. Now you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your favorite shows and movies while on the road.
