Tailgator Takes Home Theater On Road
By Lisa Montgomery
Entertainment oasis on wheels has four screens, including a 122-incher that rolls down over the side of the bus manually from a soffit permanently attached to the rig.

“They never miss a game, home or away, says Luke Hunnewell, a custom electronics (CE) professional from Carroll Custom Designs, Tallahassee, Fla., who recently outfitted an American Eagle 45H coach bus with a four-screen home theater for one of the best tailgating setups he’s ever seen.

“It’s so good, other tailgaters jockey for position on game day to get as close to the bus as possible.”



This entertainment oasis on wheels can cater to a big crowd. The main screen, a 122-incher from DaLite, rolls down over the side of the bus manually from a soffit that’s permanently attached to the rig.

The three other screens—a 52-inch Sanyo LCD, a 42-inch Vizio LCD, and a 30-inch Sony LCD—are stored underneath the bus until it’s parked. Then, the owners simply slide out the folding side mounts that are installed underneath the bus to bring the displays into viewing position.

A/V inputs and power outlets are right there, too, for quick, easy connections to the satellite receivers and the Blu-ray player that reside in a rack inside the bus.
