Traded Outside TV for a Coffee Bar

[Smiles]

Yes, our RV has 3 TV's which is more than we have at home. I'd like to do something with space used by the "tailgating" TV and soundbar outside but I just don't know what that is, yet. I appreciate the creativity!!

We're going to investigate the induction cooktop option a bit further...

Did you create more depth in that space? Mine's only 4" deep. Yours looks more than that?

We have 4 tv's one outside because I'm outside all the time. We use the bedroom tv before retiring. The living room tv my wife watches while I'm outside. The dining area we never use the tv. I wonder what the manufacturer was thinking about. If we had it in the bathroom I would use it all the time instead of reading magazines

Three in ours... The Missus settles in early for her dialysis treatment; so the bedroom TV is hers.
I've got the living room TV for myself, and we rarely put on the outside TV.

Very nice! Wish I'd thought of something along those lines.....

No. That is the original space. The only thing that required any depth was the inverter and it fit fine. I was concerned that there might be cooling issues and drilled a few holes on the side pieces. But, there was never an issue.

The 24.2 has a two seat sitting area with table opposite the TV cabinet. I was able to mount the solar controller on the interior wall adjacent to the table. Everything was within a few feet of the batteries and the converter under the fridge.

We actually seldom use the outside TV as well however it will stay in place

Inside the dining room TV is handy when you want to watch TV but do want to bring the Televator up

Since we do enjoy coffee outside I have a Coffee Tote with SS Caraf maker, induction single burner, and all the rest of the goods. It is stored in the compartment by the outlet that is on the inverter

I do really like the Coffee Bar in the TV space.

Our Chateau 31E has 5 TV's. One over the cab, one in the rear bedroom, one outside, and each bunk has its own. It's funny that we go camping to get away, and we bring 5 TVs with us.


We have only used the outside TV once, since we don't want to disturb other nearby campers. The one time we used it was when relatives rented a cabin near us and all our kids got together and watched a movie outside.

A lot of people don’t use RVs to go “camping”. They use them for a traveling lifestyle and they want all possible comforts while doing it. Some coaches have more “luxuries” than others. I’m pretty much in your camp so purposely chose a very basic unit without a lot of bells and whistles.

Yup... It's called "Getting away from it all; while bringing it all with you."
