Rear TV removal

I have a 2007 Fleetwood Southwind and the bedroom tv has stopped working. I'm trying to remove and replaced it with a new tv, but I cannot figure out how to remove it. I do not see any screws or a release. Does anyone know how to remove it? Can it be removed without distroying the cabinet modeling?

    It is, as long as you replace them with bigger, better TV's! :W
  • Removing a rear tv, a front tv and any other tvs is a great idea.
  • That cabinet is just like mine and I replaced it with 26" LED TV's. There was screws inside the cabinet facing with L brackets into the sidewall.
  • i wonder, if there are drawers under that TV
    and screws/bolts coming up through the bottom into base

    is the bathroom cabinets on the other side of that wall ?
    a closet ?

    there is something somewhere holding it, and it had to be installed
    so there is away to remove it,

    See pic on page 6 -"optional LCD tv" - pic on the left.

    There's no straps. Appears to only be attached to the base, but no room to get hands or arms behind. Using a mirror to see behind, there doesn't appear to be anything to unscrew in the back. Don't want to pull the moldings on the front unless that's the only option. And don't want to pull the molding and that's not the solve.

    When you can get a smart 32 inch LED TV for a hundred bucks, why repair?
  • There's just soooooo many different RV styles that many would benefit from a picture if you can manage it. Might get quicker help.

    Here's the brochure and it seems as though it came with a Tube type TV? Is yours that type? If so, those are usually held in with the wooden surround on the front of the cabinet, held by a couple wood screws. Take that off, you can see the sides of the TV. Then the TV itself can be held with a nylon ratcheting strap. When I find one like that, I just use scissors to cut the strap.

    Those TVs are almost always held in in such a way at they aren't damaged by the brackets and what not, so they can be removed for repair. Not something most people do these days of 'toss everything and buy new' but they set it up for that.
