RV cabinetry isn't the same as regular cabinetry, I found out the hard way. Sometimes it's bolted to the wall frame from the outside before the outer skin is put on making it extremely hard to remove. Can you install the lift without removing the cabinet? With all those small drawers and doors you may need to find a way to disassemble the lift and reassemble it inside the cabinet, or it may fit straight down through the slot you cut in the top. Double check!
You'll need to rewire the power to the underside of the cabinet. Do you have a spare space in your circuit breaker box? It's may be easier to run a whole new line than trying to open up the walls to re-route an existing circuit. You'll need enough power to run the lift, the TV and any DVD player. A 15A circuit should be fine.
Any sources will need signal wiring as well (DVD, antenna/cable). If you relocate them to the new cabinet that's pretty easy if you leave them in the old cabinet you need to find a way to run cable under the floor to the new TV location.
It's not rocket science but I'd say you're in for a whole weekend to do a decent job.
Not sure which area you mean, but where the 3 controls are behind the passenger seat on the wall between the entry door, to the frame of the slide. The cabinet (built in with the rest of the cabinets) and & kitchen are on the slide. there is a light switch on the left on the slide wall, and an outlet and what looks to me like a phone (?) outlet on the back. I sure the drawers would need to be out and some kind of shelf to hold the dvd & whatever else would be needed. We looked at it again today and looks like it would be hard to actually take the cabinet out. I hope that answers your question, I don't have a better picture. Your set up is what I was wanting, but it may not work. ThanksChasA said:What is that white area to the left on the new cabinet? I have a tv on a lift in a similar cabinet. But mine came from the factory. Mine is centered left to right and the lift occupies all the space behind the center doors. When the tv is all the way down, a flap cut out of the counter lowers and covering the opening. If whatever that white thing is needs to stay there, the lift and tv will need to be moved to the right and you'll lose the drawers.
And of course the wiring will need to be installed.
