Here's my little TV:
It's an 06 Chevy Cobalt SS with the 2.4l n/a engine and auto tranny.
I took the rear seat out for more storage room.
Then I finished off the rear deck.
Here it is with my o6 LXE A-liner in tow.
I did a few mods to make it a more capable TV including adding: a transmission cooler, a progressive brake controller, an Injen cold air intake, dual e-rams (with a dedicated helper battery and an Optima vehicle battery upgrade,) a header, a high flow cat and a Corsa touring stainless exhaust. I also had the engine and transmission computers "tow tuned." I'm towing at 170% of it's OEM recommended towing capacity, and have been safely for years with these mods.
As a result, it get better gas mileage towing my little camper (23-25 mpg) than most get with their toads. If fuel prices rise to the $7-$10/gallon range as some experts are predicting, (due to the drilling moratorium and if the new cap & tax "energy bill" passes) we may all be looking for tiny, yet capable TVs soon. That, or we'll all be taking really short trips. :)
