Lots of open space to work with. We are going to cut plywood to the size of the opening. Will cut and weld a metal plate to size of back of tv mounting and attach to plywood. Will us a piano hinge that will run from the top to bottom of the opening. Basically the tv will be mounted and will open and close on the hinged mount to give access to the inside of cabinet. You will pull tv from right side and will swing open. Still looking into how the door will stay shut. Idea?
Have already installed the Winegard In-Motion dome on top and going to run antenna cox- to front of cab and drill entry hole.
The fun then begins with trying to wire all this up.
The nice thing is the the storage compartments up from and above have lots of room to expand for surround sound and such. My concern? Can I put an exention style power strip to take the two recepticals to 4 or six? Is this a big issue?
Will try to keep updated and post some pic's as we get further along.
