Good luck! -
Not a kw700 but being in a company truck couldn't drill holes so I built this to hold my tv and solve the issues of back panels ripping off or the mounting holes ripping g out from the vibration in my issue shaker.
Ran a panel from top of the bunk box between the top bunk and the wall then boxed the tv in backed with some extra foam I had laying around to stop vibration from the little slack I had built in for venting. Used bolts and angle brackets to support the weight of the tv had it up for a few months now and no issues or noise even rolling down some pretty rough roads in LA. That's a 32" tv only issue and nor really an issue to me is with that system and size tv I lose about 2- 3 inchs lifting the bunk up still plenty of room to get into it.

I like the idea how did you get the wood paneling to stay in place
-
On the front it extends up between the bunk and the wall on the tip and it sits on the space between the lower bunk and the wall on the bottom it's sized so it can't slide back and forth when I put it in I raised the top bunk and held it to the bunk and then lowered the top bunk holding it in place. Mine is a tight enough fit it doesn't rattle but if it was too loose a 2 inch piece of foam from a hobby store put between the wall and the board should quite it the same as I put between the top and back of the tv to lesson the vibrations on the tv. Also put some half inch foam weather striping on the blocks holding the tv in to keep the tv face from rubbing on the wood incase I later end up using it elsewhere.

It's actually 3/4 inch pine project panels not the thin paneling you would use for pure asthetics.

Mount it on the bottom of the top bunk maybe?
-
In the same predicament myself. Good idea, I was just trying my best fro figure something out.
