I know I've seen posts of some of the fantasic ways you guys have modified your RV to accommodate a LCD/LED tv. Can someone point me to some of them? I've looked all over and can't seem to find then.
Thanks in advance.

We just removed analog set and installed a board within the cabinet to mount the swing arm for the flatpanel. Has withstood a couple of seasons of camping without any issues.
Here's how I installed the one in our bedroom. It's at the perfect angle for watching in bed. This TV was a 12" and has been replaced with a 19" Visio.
We changed our 21 inch CRT to a 32 inch Vizio LCD. There was not enough room inside the cabinet for the 32 inch. We would have had to mod the cabinets but did not want to do that so we surface mounted the 32 inch. Took plywood, vinyl upholstery and piano hinge. We also added a surround sound home theater, behind the TV, with our Sat controller, receiver, Western Digital TV video player and RF extender. Home theater has wireless rear speakers. This reduced our need to run speaker wire.
Below is a look at the front of the coach. Notice the addition of the speakers in the upper corners and surround speaker below the TV.

Yep, some pictures of some one elses TV Mods is fine, if you have the exact same Motorhome and your going to use the exact same LED TV also.
No Kidding ? A lot of Motorhomes are way different in many ways. It also depends on what size OEM CRT TV that is comming out and what size LED TV you want to put back in. So basically every TV Mod is a bit different. So yours will probably be different also.
Other pictures of TV Mods can give you some ideas, but your still going to have to figure out how to do yours, and to make it work. As you have seen in some of the pictures, some are very easy to do and others are very hard to do. That also is your choice also.
A lot just depemds on how much time and money you want to put into your TV Mod, and how nice you want it to look when your done.
The more skills that you have and the more tools that you have, also makes it a lot easier also.
