mounting a TV

We have a Troll 550 and (currently) have a free standing TV, I'd dearly like to mount it onto a stand but we cannot agree on a suitable location. I'm also loathe to drill holes without plenty of forethought!
Do any of you kind people have suggestion/pictures/etc how how you have mounted yours?

We once fitted our 16" TV to an "under counter bracket" and removable sliding clip. This bracket was then fixed under the overhead cupboards across the front of our 530. Because the cupboards are not deep enough to allow the TV to fold away, we would either leave it down or unclip it when not in use.

It became a bl***dy nuisance so we abandoned the bracket and the TV now sits on one of the worktops. With the seating arrangement on the 550 it's even more difficult to suggest a good spot.

thanks Randa, this was our debate, no really a mutually satisfactory place for the seating arrangement.

I bolted two small brackets through the rear cupboard bottoms. Then I fitted strips of aluminium to the VESA mounting holes on the back of the telly with a hook on each one. The TV hangs from these on site and is carried in the cupboard in transit.

We sit facing the rear so it works for us.

Thank you Inishcara!

The covers are actually towels from Habitat and the pillow cases sewn from bath towels in the same range!

Frantone. Your table has 2 legs, did you make it or did it come with the van?

It came with the van.
It is the most ridiculous bit of Eriba lunacy that ever came from Hymer!!!!
It is too heavy.
It is too tall. (Why doesn't it match the end cabinet height like they used to?)
It has no where to live or be stored.
The legs are too wide. On previous versions one leg was narrower than the other to allow users to get in and out.
It's an abomination!!!!
I bet most people leave theirs at home.
