Do you mean the compartment with the peg board?? It's big, but is shallow, about 4 in. This the one you mean??? If so, guy across from me here in Fl got a bracket from Newmar that fold up very thin, and will work with one of the new thin TV's.

Most Newmars have a compartment wired for 110 outlet and cable connection in them. You will just have to build a strong support for LCD mounting bracket to interior compartment framing.

If you do place a LCD just remember the lock on your compartment door may protrude into the compartment.
Just don't want you to smash the screen when closing the door.

If the compartment backs up to the chassis frame you may have all you need for solid support. If its close to it could place spaces to make it a solid mount.

We bought a 32" Samsung UN32B6000 LED/HDTV($900-Butterflyphoto.com) for our stick house and a swivel articulating arm mount($43-Buy.com). Their combined depth is 4". Something like this might work? Or maybe a 40"? Samsung makes these thin LEDs in sizes 19" to 55"

Our 98 38' DSDP pegboard basement measures 42" between lift struts, 26" high, and 4.5" deep. Remove the pegboard and there may be more depth? The 40" Samsung measures 39" by 25".
