Removed the accordion door that separates the rear lounge and the rest of the coach, as we’ve never used it and it just got in the way. I reinstalled the mounting screws and put the white plastic caps back on, which looks better than a bunch of holes. But now the TV mounting bolts are exposed. Short of building a pantry (which I may do someday), any suggestions for hiding the TV mounting bolts?

Gregg,
Perhaps something as simple as a cover like this one on Amazon. Not sure of the fit for your particular assembly (nut) but there may be other sizes available.

Good luck.

To keep a low profile they used carriage bolts and fender washers and then painted both with a wall matching paint.

Paint them a color that blends in with your wood color.
Adding anything else just attracts attention to the area where the bolts are that you’re trying to hide.

Nut and bolt caps are available in several sizes, similar to the caps that cover toilet mounting bolts

Paint the caps the color of your choice
Using carriage bolts, as mentioned, would be another good way of disguising them.
