If it were me, I would make one. All you need are a couple of good heavy duty drawer guides (Blum, etc) and then make a box or shelf to mount the TV. The box/shelf would have to be strong and the TV well mounted to eliminate movement when traveling.

I actually want to cut the enclosure into the side of my Zinger. I guess I could build my own enclosure, but i will still need to install the door.

If you want to do that, you must have the available space. Since the walls are at best 2 inches thick, and on the other side is the inside walls, where do you plan to cut the wall open???? What you are looking at in the picture is a opening in the side that had a compartment behind it. There are tv mounts that you can attach to the top of a compartment, but that's the only way I see you could do this.

I am putting it beside the door. The access panel will be below the sink in the kitchen. It will cut down on the storage, but not by much. After doing some research tonight I will probably just add an access door and build the inside to mount a flat screen. Thoughts ?

As long as you have enough space. Only concerns is making it water tight when you install the door. Good luck, let us know how you make out and post some pics.

Don't forget, if you cut a hole in the outside wall you will have to cut through the aluminum studs. To prevent the loss of structural rigidity, you'll need to build a frame around the hole.

Did you do this yet? We are wanting to do the same, lose a bit of cabinet space under the sink area.

We installed a TV Hatch
The attach pictures show the hatch installed under our Kitchen window. Lost 7 inches of unusable cabinet space under the sink. This hatch will hold a 29 inch TV.
Built a frame around the opening with 1.5 x 1.5 wood and then screwed the hatch into the surrounding frame, then sealed with silicone. This reinforced the aluminum framing that was cut to create the opening.
Had to re-route the sink vent and move the water lines. Lost the 7 inches in the trash can compartment, but changed the configuration to allow the trash can to still fit in the cupboard under the counter.
Electric and cable connection - tapped into the outside connections and ran the wiring over to the TV hatch from under the frig, behind the furnace and into the TV compartment.
Looking forward to football season! Very happy with this addition!

TV Box?
I just started on this site and know it’s been a while since you posted this.
Great installation
Where did you find the enclosure?

Crobyn; That is an awesome addition, I wonder if you could elaborate on the black plastic molding used on for your hole opening and cut-out piece. Where did you purchase it. I assume you purchased the molding, then cut the trailer opening to allow for the molding, then altered the cutout to fit the hinged part of the molding. But would really like to know where you can purchase the black trailer caseing, and cutout hinged moulding. Definitely something I would consider doing.
