I don't think it would be to difficult, if you are just alittle handy. Almost all the front bed room units, terminate the cables in the cabnet area, the 12 volt it there, and so is 120, you should have a very short pull to the understorage. I'm sure you can get a telescopic/folding TV mount and you should be in business.

If you are talking about the outside entertainment center as in the new 3750 models, it is a major modification that would include re-working the aluminum studs and framing to allow for the insertion of the entire unit. I had asked about this when the option first became available. My solution was to simply add a coax connector to the outside and I carry a 22" LCD that I can plug in beneath the awning. The simple approach worked fine for me.

I purchased a $20 bracket from Walmart and mounted a 19 inch tv outside and then hung a black curtain to hid everything in the basement when watching tv..

I'm not certain of the modification to the framing Bingo is talking about, but if all you want to do is mount a TV on the wall in the cargo bay like say my 3150RL it would be pretty simple as others have suggested. The aluminum frame separating the cargo bay from the area under your bedroom steps is already there. The particle board wall covered with the grey/black material is already there. My TV mount is simply screwed into the particle board wall which in turn is screwed onto the aluminum frame in about 6 places. Power and TV coax is generally in the bedroom just above the cargo bay, so that run would be pretty short. Several electonics stores as well as Wally World have articulating TV mounts that are easy to install and sorta reasonable in price. The coax and related hardware for the antenna wire can be had at the same stores or at Radio Shack.
