Another TV Swap
Like many of you with older RV's I had to replace the TV in our '96 Winnebago. Forgot to snap a picture with the TV in but this gives you an idea.
So rip to the old TV out and all the trim.
I cut out all the old metal brackets and framed with wood. Then marked the areas that need cutting for the new TV.
The original plans were to just cut the old glass doors and re-install them. I neglected to think they might be tempered glass which is impossible to cut. I had to make new door panels. Since we keep the DVD and Directv DVR in those areas I needed something the remote would go through. Using some left over oak and some canning material I made the new doors.
All in all we are quite happy with the results and the new TV is a huge improvement. I mounted the TV with a swing arm so it's able to come out and swivel. The two knobs and wood plate keep it locked in while traveling.
