I don't have your model,make coach (see sig), but I removed the old TV and mounting box in the corner of ours and replaced it with a flat-screen.
There are previous threads from owners who have done this, some rival professional jobs, some-like mine are simple and (to me) look home-made

I left the "box"' where the 26“ tube tv had been, mounted a plywood door on it with a piano hinge, and mounted a 32“ flat screen on the plywood door. The plywood door has two friction catches that keep it securely in place. We use the box behind the tv for storage.

Thanks AF, I will try that. Where did you get the mount?

Did about the same as AF. I cut the plywood door/ mounting area about 3/8" small then covered with rug runner black in color with Gray in the patent. Glued and folded over the back and stapled, then drilled holes for cabling and power. Mounted with piano hinge, then got a tilting mount and screwed it to the covered ply wood, looked great. Also put a latch on the bottom edge and can tilt up for storage.

I did not use a mount ...attached the TV directly to the plywood. My cabinet was already sloped a bit so no need to angle the TV more.
