Great job! Looks like it was designed for that spot.
You're really going to appreciate having that during this cooler time of year.
My wife and I have been camping in northern Michigan this week and used our fireplace a few times to knock the chill out of the TT. We will be in the U.P. for the next two weeks and I'm sure it will get used a lot.
I've said it before... If Forest River isn't following this forum, they're missing out on some great design modifications for their products.

NICE job!

One thing I would add is a 12VDC computer box fan (or two if they are small) in the panel that contains the SkyFi dock. It will add additional cooling for the ZX-700. Heat build up is the enemy of that unit.
Mounted right next to that heater "might" be a problem over time.
Just a thought...

Thanks Lou for the advice, but I am so disappointed with the functionality and sound quality of the ZX700 that I rarely use it. It's got to be the single worst component of the whole RV. I will look for a small box fan though.

Looks really nice. Do you need a special outlet for the fireplace, or can you plug one in anywhere?

Just plug and play in an existing outlet.

I am quite happy with the functionality of the ZX-700 itself. I will be upgrading the sub-woofer and speakers one day, though.
They are pretty lame. Finding a 12VDC Surround Sound system with anywhere near these features is quite a challenge. The new Genesis has HD output which I would like, but not for the upgrade cost.
