I am impressed that you have a motorhome with a door big enough to get a roundie color TV through. Mine is only about 26" wide, I think. It is a 1974 GMC Sequoia.

You just gotta love a guy that wants to take his hobby with his other hobby. Makes perfect sense to me.

1979 Fleetwood when they come to replace the front windshield is when I put the TV in that is why I am asking now. We had massive hail here on monday night the front end was in the hail.Also the side windows can come out that are big enough as I measured after you posted in case it has to be removed later.

OK, yes, I have heard of motorhomes where the windshield has to be removed for large items. Now would be a good time to carefully check your refrigerator's performance, since it might need to go out the same way. Luckily, my new fridge just fit through the GMC's door last year.

I would not have room enough for a color set that size, but it does bring up an interesting idea of putting in a small but original-era TV in my coach. Maybe a 15" or so Zenith, RCA, or Sony, with my old Atari 2600 video game attached?

Yes I think the ct 2000 will fit through the door slimline design helps and that tv is near that era so that will be my pick as well, my fridge is ok but the stove might need to go out the side window. Does anyone use Direct TV in their motor homes? I was wondering about azimuth problems on unlevel ground.

I don't think the non-level ground will be a major problem, except that it will make a manually-aimed dish harder to position. The self-aiming and in-motion-tracking dishes seem to handle things OK.
