The 12 volt TV in our '04 Pleasure Way Plateau bit the dust on our last trip. It's totally enclosed in a lovely corner cabinet over one of the twin beds; we can't see any screws or any way to start to get the old one out, much less put in a new one. Have any of you PW owners replaced the 12 volt built-in TV?

I bought a 21" samsung at costco for $129.it runs natively on 12 volt DC power...( it comes with a ac/dc adapter similar to a computer...)it has a media player which will play movies and TV shows I load onto a thumb drivehas a pretty good autoscanand a headphone out which I use to my coach stereo systemso in terms of wiring...the same power plug from the old tvthe same audio scheme- plug into headphone jacksame antennasame dvd/vcr inputto replace:remove wooden panel on inside of door, the old tv is mounted to that ( as least was on my '06)I made a new bracket to hold the tv and mounted it to the swinging door- lining it up so that the door can open all the way and close all the waylink to pics:https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMyOyH7o9yQqe4xh65wglAqNsw3dkx3a_0NDr6JKeJ7uCQcINWp30Th5Syx0TDflQ?key=X3Fpbm8xX3pzYzdxVmhnQlBxS3JHX21aaTJTZGRnmike

I second the flat screen LED TVs that run natively on 12V... no need to run the inverter and suffer conversion losses. I got mine at Walmart also for ~$120ish.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Our problem is that we can't get INTO the old one. Our's doesn't swing out. There are no hinges, no screw holes, no indication of how to get into the cabinet. We've pulled on the outer edges of the old one, but it barely gives at all. Maybe it only this wa on the '04???

ah, maybe you could post a pic, you don't have a hinged model which can swing towards the front seats?- as I look online I keep seeing reference to your model being a swing-out mount.I can pics of a piano hinge on the rt side, on the left is a catch and then a ring pull to swing the tv...and behind is pretty much the same amp and electronic I have in my picsPW on some models has screws up through the bottom of cabinets with small plugs over the screw heads.there has to be a way in, I am sure.have you tried the PW yahoo group?mike

No hinges and no screws either! I'm trying to join the PW owners group, but am having trouble. Do you remember if it takes a while to get membership confirmed?

I bought a 21" samsung at costco for $129.

it has a media player which will play movies and TV shows I load onto a thumb drive

has a pretty good autoscan

and a headphone out which I use to my coach stereo system

so in terms of wiring...the same power plug from the old tv

the same audio scheme- plug into headphone jack

same antenna

same dvd/vcr input

to replace:

remove wooden panel on inside of door, the old tv is mounted to that ( as least was on my '06)

I made a new bracket to hold the tv and mounted it to the swinging door- lining it up so that the door can open all the way and close all the way
