replacing old TV

I know I have seen it on here that some of you have replaced your old TV with a Smart TV. But I can't seem to find any post on that.
I would like to replace the old TV. that's built in up in the cabinet just above the wind shield. It appears that he front frame of the cabinet is glued on there. Is there any way to get it off with out splitting the frame so it can be reused putting it back after a new TV is installed?? I have looked & looked I find no screws holding it on there.
Any good suggestions on getting it off other than just getting a bigger hammer ?
Thanks
Hope this helps. It's a 2006 Winnebago Adventure 35A
I have a Direct TV satellite dome type on the roof.

As has been said, remove plugs to get screws out. I replaced both my tv's in 97 bounder with samsung smart tvs. Cell service is pretty good around country and you can hotspot or mirror to tv.

Look for wooden plugs used to cover the screws that hold the frame on. Remove the plugs and you should find the screws.

Unless you plan on having good internet service all the time, I really wouldn't worry about it being "smart". but would go for the cheaper "non-smart" ones. Unless you have good routers and wifi service, "smart doesn't do a thing for you.

Hard to answer without knowing make or model, and pictures would really be good. We replaced ours several years ago, the front frane came off with screws, and the replacement was simple. I can send pictures of ors, but really need to see what you are working with.
