Cabinet Removal

If the curtain track is in the way, consider putting in blinds and getting rid of the curtain altogether. (See my posts on installing new valences for our new blinds)
I installed TV that is small enough that it sits in front of the old tube tv cabinet, which I have used to hold the sattelite receiver, visible under the bottom of the TV, so the remote can see it and a printer that connects by wifi. So the only time teh TV has to be swung out is to put in or take out paper from the printer. This approach saved having to do major cabinetry in that location.
I find the TV to be big enough at 27`(I think, can`t get to th ecoach to measure for a couple of weeks). You can see the TV in the pictures that I posted re the valences.
Gerald, I`ll let you know when we are in the neighbourhood, so we can come see your coach over dinner too...........jusst kidding.

I have a 26" attached on an articulated mount; it covers the old TV cabinet opening when stowed and can swing nearly to the coach's mid-line when extended. With the newer TVs that are nearly frameless I've calculated I could replace it with a 32" with very little change. The overhead cabinets house my DirecTV DVR, a Blue-ray, a Roku and the control for the Trav'ler. I might be able to cram all that into the TV cabinet, but it would be crowded.

Keith, Joel,
Thanks for the info. I want a permanent mount avoiding swing arms, etc. if possible. Just another possible rattle point. Cabinet wise, plan on storing my printer, DTV box and Rabbit in the tube TV cabinet. If I have a fit problem I'll leave the printer in the basement as I seldom use it anyway (or put it in the rear tube TV cabinet if I can talk the boss out of the space). I plan to replace the current big Sony DVD player with a Blue ray unit that has a smaller footprint. That plus removing the plastic front modesty panel in the DVD cabinet should yield enough room for a Roku, etc. Speaking of the rear set, I plan to hang it off the ceiling in front of the window. Looks like an easy mount that will be out of the way.
Just consulted the boss. She's voting for the 40" up front or the 32" hanging below the existing cabinets. We'll see.
