Television Cabinet Mod

Post by f150k on 10/3/2009, 10:07 am

Replaced the old TV with a new flat screen and use the empty space for a pull-out pantry. I have two other photos of this mod in my gallery. Shows the door and pull-out pantry.

Pretty cool. I think I would use the drawer to hide the DVD collection.

NICE Mod. That really looks nice. How do you keep the pantry in while towing?

I have a cabinet catch between the slides, and I also use a tension rod between the door and Frig. when we are on the road. I have a RV catch from Rockler Woodworking on order.

That was a very imaginative way to make some extra storage space.

Very good work.

Ken...

You have done some nice mods to you Cat! I like your recessed toilet paper dispenser. I'd love to do the same mod in our Cat, if it's possible. Would you've had the needed depth to install the dispenser had you NOT moved the back wall of the entertainment center forward?

I put two false walls in the entertainment center. I wanted to make the pull-out pantry and to do that I had to work around the two vent pipes that go up that wall. So I first fitted a 1/2 inch plywood to the back wall, I knew I wanted to install the tissue holder and I was not sure the bath wall would support it. Next I spaced the inside wall for the pantry with a 2x4 frame, which assured me I would have enough room for the tissue holder and also clear the forward vent pipe. I mounted another 1/2 ply, to make the inside wall of the pantry. The pull-out is 6 3/4 wide ( the space between the two vent pipes), next a 3/4 ply for the wall behind the TV. You may have to find out where the vent pipes run in your unit, I did this by taking the TV cable cover off and measured both direction to know how much room I had to work with. Hope this helps.
