replacing old TV

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.

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.

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

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.

I removed a Sony Wega 26 inch from an /06 Class C made by Triple E in Canada. It was a beast, weighed about 85 pounds.

Took me quite a while to figure out how it came out, and in the end, it came out easily. In my case, the TV had a pin hole built into the back of the TV, and the frame in the rig had the pin facing downward. I had to lift the front of the TV, and this dropped the back of the TV, and the pin then came out of the hole.

I used the existing frame to build up something that I could mount a tilting extendable swing arm on, all perfectly set so the new TV would snugly fit into the space. I build a couple of tabs on each side that held the new wide screen in when driving. Big improvement.

Yes, there probably is, you just need to find it. Try sliding a thin knife or feeler gauge between the frame and the cabinet to determine where the screws are.

Usually you will find four wooden "plugs" likely in the side of the facia (trim) and behind them 4 screws Then the wood comes off. Then the TV mount is visible

I knocked the bottom out (carefully) cut the sides so the bottom cut was "Flat" replaced the Bottom and used the same mounting bracket on my wide screen (Same width but not as tall) added a strip of black Gorilla tape to fill in teh remaining gap and job done.

NOTE: You may wish to re-consider the "Smart" Tv. It has microphones and cameras people can hack open.

Not likely, but if the frame was put on with a staple gun, then finished properly,, the staples will be invisible. Try the knife thing, then gently pry with a screwdriver

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

Yep,
Without any info on make/model/year/chassis of coach, it's pretty hard to give an accurate answer. For instance, on many earlier Winne and Itasca products, there are two smaller wood screws, just inside and behind, the two face frames of cabinets on each side of the TV. Ya have to look pretty good to see them. That's all that holds the TV face frame in/on. The TV is held by a large steel band that wraps all the way around it like a big clamp.

Many RV's (Tiffin and others) have the frame held in place with screws from the side which are accessed in the overhead compartments on either side. 2 long screws on each screw into blocks on the back of the frame. Unscrew and the whole frame comes off and you have access to everything inside.
