Default Took out the big TV

I really liked Burlmart's 2005 Trail-Lite 213 B+ TV Cabinet Modification

http://classbforum.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=509

Here's what the 23" TV looked like:



It was kind of nice to have but would have drawn a lot of current from my battery using an inverter and it's heavy.

So I decided to pull it out and put two doors. I made the doors out of pine but stained them to match the imitation oak.





There's lots of space behind there:













I put the bolster from the sofa in to give an idea of the size:





I'm going to mount a 19" LCD TV where it'll be comfortable to view from the sofa.



That mount was left in the RV by the previous owner. He used it for a PC monitor. I'll have to move it up a bit.

The project is finished:



I added a small inverter to run the entertainment system when dry camping.

your work looks great and i'd kill for storage like that!


some TV's are available are DC native- that means less total power consumption


the samsung 22" in the van is DC native as is the samsung 32" in our guest room ( which uses a transformer brick)
