Re: '07 Southwind BR TV Removal?

lil-bobber: thanks for the input, anything is possible however that front trim piece is brad nailed on and the lower veneer panel is also secured with brads and the use of an air stapler. I really don't want to end up with a real train wreck of a reno job. Stan: ah haaaa! Fishing line to use as a saw, you know when I was restoring an old BMW bike I read a thread of how to get the old BMW roundels (tank decals) off and in that application the guy used dental floss in the same manner you're referring to. Thanks for the tip! I may even be able to 'feel' if there's another form of fastener holding it on as I pull the floss/fishing line back and forth. I'll check out the Bounders forum for that resource too!494Views0likes0CommentsRe: '07 Southwind BR TV Removal?
Hi John, I suspect it's just tape, there's no evidence of screws into the plastic pedestal of the TV from above. The shelf the TV sits on is likely about .5" and has a closet on one side and cabinet on the other. There is a trim piece on the front of that shelf and a very thin veneer panel on the underside to give the impression that the shelf is more substantial than it actually is. The plastic TV pedestals are generally like a shell on the under with nothing to screw into which is why I suspect dbl sided tape has been used on the 'feet' of the pedestal. An example of the Bedroom Samsung TV can be seen in this listing...not my coach https://ventura.craigslist.org/rvs/4807862926.html494Views0likes0Comments'07 Southwind BR TV Removal?
One of my winter projects was to replace the older LCD flat panel TV's in the coach. The front went fine resulting in a new 32" display over the OEM Samsung 26". The OEM 20" Samsung in the bedroom is fast becoming a problem. It's sitting on it's pedestal however it appears they used double sided tape to secure it to the shelf. I've tried to put a heat gun gently to the pedestal base and then slide a long icing spreader (I asked the wife first...) to get under the pedestal in hope of releasing the adhesive. Doesn't want to give.....and before I do something I'll likely regret I thought I'd canvass the brain trust here for some input. I've called the factory and they sent schematics but no mention of how it is secured down. I called the dealer and he said it was likely that it's been installed with the tape. Thoughts?

Bob, If you can offer some more insight on the Camco product I'd like to hear it as the only things I've read to date are positive.

That's encouraging....with my male at the 730-830, sounds like it'll fit straight in and then hang down. Phew....plus the Camco one is half the price of the Marinco.

Bingo! I'm looking for someone who has one, let me know either Camco or Marinco, who can tell me where the ground is on the female end....top being 12 o'clock. My male rv outlet has the ground at about 7:30 to 8:30 as you look directly at it.106Views0likes0Comments
