dismounting tv

I hVE 40 ft Travel Supreme 5th wheel with a builtin entertainment center across the rear ofthe trailer In the center there is a 52 in JVC tv mounted in such a manner that it is safe to travel. I can see through a narrow space across the bottom of about 1/4 inch between the cabinet and tv theere is a bar.I need to be able to gain acess to the bottom left front of he tv to replace the projecton lamp ..Is there anyone famiiar with this type of "mounting" that can release the bar-----or any idea on what can be done to access the first 6 inched of the bottom?

    You didn't say why you wanted to remove TV? Out of my on experence you would be better to keep what you have. I got locked into a campground that had switched to HD and I had a old TV that required a box to get reception. Long story short-I took the TV out. The factory puts a TV in then fits a cabinet around it. I got a new TV but a large cabinet hole that does not fit the looks of the RV. I now want to resale and Iam sure this problem will hurt the price-if you must let a dealer do it. Bill

    I think you should be able to unbolt the tv from the VESA Mount on the back. 4 bolts.. may have to unbolt the top two with the tv partially raised.

    is there a cabinet door where you can see the bottom of the tv if partially lowered? Might have to remove the back of the cabinet space where the door is.. (a filler panel)

    I have found that RV TV's mount in a variety of ways. An RV tech can probably tell you how.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Sorry but I will not be able to help you with this particular question.
    If all else fails... your local dealer may have the answer.
