Replace CRT TV

We put the DVR in the hole behind the LED TV.

I have the subwoofer for my sound system mounted inside the old CRT cabinet. That takes up close to half of it. The 2x4 used as the stud to hold the articulated mount takes up some with the rest being used for important file folders (including registration). Not too much unused space.

The trick I'm finding is putting the old CRT hole to good use. I'm trying to put some drawers in the cavity with some cabinetry around it. Not having wood working skills is a real negative.

There are plenty of posts on doing this on here. Buy a LED TV as they are thin and lite.

A 2x4 mounted vertically in the existing cabinet makes a great support "beam". If you use an articulated mount you can get the TV to swing out toward the mid-line of the coach.

I've just replaced our existing articulated mount with one that both swings and lowers the TV so when it is being watched it is well below the level of the upper cabinets and just about in the middle of the coach. That puts it into an excellent viewing position both for someone on the sofa and another person on the recliner. My DW's complaint about our previous mount was that the TV was "too high" and her neck hurt from having to look up at it; this way it is nearly at head height.

Have done this on several coaches. Send me your email and I will send you the PDF of the installation. LWASOUTH@tampabay.rr.com

Yes, I put a 32 inch LG in that spot this September on,y class A. I put a nice piece of birch ply wood across the top of the hole flush. Then i attached the tv mount to that. This left some space on the bottom for my dish 722DVR and DVD player.

I think most folks go with what sch911 is describing using a piano hinge so you get access to the storage behind it. Other folks use articulating arms and mount it to the inside of the cabinet. The issue is keeping it from moving while in transit. There are several examples of installations in this RV tv installation article.

Yes. I created a hinged cover for the opening that the new TV mounts on. used Oak plywood with edge moldings to make everything look good. The cabinet can still be accessed by lifting the TV and the cover plate up. Now use it for storage.
