We removed the old TV and left the space open for now....well, we put up a small curtain to cover the gaping hole. Inside, we put a small file box to hold important papers. I also mounted a Battery Tender trickle charger that plugs into the old TV outlet. It's energized when plugged into shore power so the chassis battery gets a maintenance charge when the coach is sitting in the driveway. But when the engine is running traveling down the road, the outlet is not energized even with the genset running....I guess to keep the TV from being a safety distraction when driving.....so the trickle charger is not competing with the alternator. I'll eventually get to building a shelf set for that hole that will look a bit more finished.
For the replacement TV, I hung it on the new shelving unit I built to fill in the hole where the jack-knife sofa used to be in the slide. Works great and is about half the weight of the old furniture and the old TV set.
