Front TV on Holiday Rambler - power bypass?

On my 2005 Holiday Rambler MH the TV in the front will not run if the engine is running. I guess this is a safety feature so the driver wont use is 4 foot long neck to stretch it back and watch TV while driving.

When I bought the MH the dealer told me there was a easy way to by pass this but did not tell me what it was. I would like to by pass it because when we tailgate at football games we tend to get stuck in traffic and the guys behind me would like to watch the 1:00 game. This is exactly what we did in my old MH but we cant do in the new one.

Anyone know how to easily bypass this without running power cords all over the place.

As mentioned, in most cases you can just access the TV plug and move it to the other plug IF it is a dual plug outlet. If it is not, you will see that there is a standard 120V line running to the outlet plus 2 small 12V wires (check with a meter). Cutting one of those wires will kill the relay that controls that plug and it will work all the time. On rare occasion this is not easy to do or find but it's usually right out in the open. If not, you should be able to find a fuse that is used for this purpose and remove it.
