In the pic below, you can see where the TV is. I took out the TV/DVD combo the previous owner had there, now I have a gaping hole I need to fix up. Any idea's? Maybe some of you have done an upgrade to an area like this? We have a 19" flat screen that we currently have in the MH closet. Simple enough to pull it out when needed, so I dont need a TV there.

Jim, I bought my coach new in 2004 and I'm ready for the same upgrade! The Sony TV that's in there must weigh 1,000 lbs. anyway when, I removing mine next year, I'm going to have a flat screen put in by a carpenter. That way any modifications can be taking care of and the wood can be matched up closely if need be.

Had a cabinet maker build a new front, put it on a hidden hinge then put our computer printer behind it with a wireless modem.Bill

Similar set up in our Southwind. We put in an electric fireplace in the hole and set 32" flat screen on dash when parked and store in bedroom when driving.

Original tv had been in a cabinet over the dash. The previous owner had moved to a flat screen mounted on back wall next to the dinette which works very well. I got tired of the big space over the dash so I cut it down to match the other cabinets. So I now have a wall mounted tv and a nice storage area over the dash and a wide open windshield area.Bill
