Ours has a steel frame that I was able to bolt a piece of 3/4" plywood across the inside of the opening. I got a simple angled RV mount that happened to match the angle of the cabinets. I looked at a couple of different house style mounts, but they did not have any way to keep the TV from moving upwards. I was afraid it could bounce out of the mount on some of our finer highways.

I bought some 1" alum angle at Home Depot from which I fabricated a mounting frame. I then anchored this frame to the box with wood screws. I then mounted a locking swing-out TV mount to the aluminum frame. This allowed access to the box behind the TV which I now use as DVD storage. This was very easy to do and inepensive, the most expensive part was the articulating mount.

I built my mount from scratch. The sides of my TV "box" are metal so I attached angle iron uprights to it at the proper depth and angle for the TV being installed. I attached two angle iron lengths to the back of the TV (one for each set of mounting screws) as my mount and then attached them to the preinstalled uprights. Everything dressed up very nicely when the cabinetry was reinstalled.

I used a mount similar to OmniMount
Constructed mounting supports using pocket screw assembly with Kreg Mini Pocket-Hole Jig Kit and 1x6" Poplar
Solid and easy install with handsaw, C-Clamp, and drill.. TV swings out and tilts down with bracket i used..
Positioning of mounting bracket inside TV housing made quite easy with the use of pocket screw system..

Bob,
Mine is on a swing out mount, 32" Samsung LCD. When I modified the cabinet I mounted the swingout on the left side of the cabinet so I could seing it out to access the inside of the cabinet for storage and wiring etc. When traveling the TV is resting on the lower lip of the cabinet and held to 4 blocks by velcro with a turnbuckle to hold it in. In 3 trips across country to California and back to Mo, about 7500 mi, there has been no issues other than the cabinet loosening up and having to be reglued etc. So far there are no issues with the hardware holding the TV to the mount.

Took a 3/4" piece of birch plywood......cut it so it was 1/2" bigger than opening in cabinet........sanded/stained it light oak.......installed it with 3 heavy cabinet hinges with a strong-back (inside cabinet) behind hinges.....put a small simple handle on it and latch it closed with a spring-loaded window sash latch.
Then drilled on 5/8" hole where power cord needed to come thru and 3" long 1/2" slot for cables.........mounted a 32" Vizio Slim-Line LED/LCD TV with flat-wall mount.
Great TV viewing and have big cabinet behind it for 'stuff'
Great idea, I am going to try this, with an additional strap through the door and a ledge for the tv to rest on. Thanks
