I've never done cabinets before so I'm fishing for ideas, don't want to end up with them looking like junk.
I noted your TV capacity is 5,000lbs, same as mine (2000 Tacoma). I'm also targeting a tow weight of around 3k. I'll be interested to hear your experience on the road.
Thanks. Yes, I either painted or stained myself. Stain is a pain because any cross grain sanding shows thru, even orbital sanders. I prefer building myself to fit the space I have plus the majority of store bought have harticle board.
For a house, I will simply build boxes from plywood, then face frame them with wood of choice. You simply screw the boxes together. But for the trailer I utilixed 1x2/2x2 faced with either 1/4" or 1/8" ply built in place. A lot more trouble but I did this for weight savings. Utilizing box construction, you have 2 sidewalls of boxes sitting there. Plus being constrained between 2 walls that may or may not be plumb sucks trying to get them in.
My TV is a 2014 4runner. It should do ok at 55-60 mph. A lot better gas mileage than the F150 I had before that got no better than 13 empty.
