Mounting flat screen in old tube TV space
I cut a 1/2” smooth gran plywood (Lowes)
and mounded it with stainless piano hinge
to interior right side of interior TV space wall about 3” from front. Put trim ion inside perimeter of the plywood so the hinges plywood would have something secure to fold back onto. Mounted a swing TV wall mount about center of plywood... you might decide more left or right is better for situation. The plywood took stain very well and after some trial and error, was able to match closely nearby RV wood so that the false back looked like a real factory back. I used strong magnets met for cabinet doors to secure this swing capable mounting plywood. The hidden area behind the swing Faldo back became our secret ‘safe area’ for DW’s jewelry/ a little extra cash, prescribed meds. The TV on the swing arm needs to be secured during travel. Lot of ways to do this. Since the adjustable arm has some flex to it, I decided on a simple thin molding running horizontally under the face of the TV... if you select how far to mound the false back so the from of the TV will be held snug by a thin molding strip it will keep the TV in placing even on the roughest roads. To deploy the TV we just lift the TV up and over the trim piece.
