I really liked Burlmart's 2005 Trail-Lite 213 B+ TV Cabinet Modification

Here's what the 23" TV looked like:

It was kind of nice to have but would have drawn a lot of current from my battery using an inverter and it's heavy.

So I decided to pull it out and put two doors. I made the doors out of pine but stained them to match the imitation oak.

There's lots of space behind there:

I put the bolster from the sofa in to give an idea of the size:

I'm going to mount a 19" LCD TV where it'll be comfortable to view from the sofa.

That mount was left in the RV by the previous owner. He used it for a PC monitor. I'll have to move it up a bit.
 
Sis you remove any insulation or get condensation/heat gain thru the cab-over cap?

Been wondering what is behind my TV cabinet. Thanks for the photos showing jyhe inside of the cap!
 
your work looks great and i'd kill for storage like that!


some TV's are available are DC native- that means less total power consumption


the samsung 22" in the van is DC native as is the samsung 32" in our guest room ( which uses a transformer brick)
