Bedroom TV Replacement Adventurer 38t

[Milom]

Any 2006-2008 38t owners upgrade their old crt TV in the rear bedroom above closet? how the heck do you get the old TV out without destroying cabinet? looks like all side trim has to be removed then the metal strap around TV? but I cant see where the bolts go through to bottom of cabinet. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I had two mobile RV repair guys look at it and both declined to tackle the job, for fear they would damage cabinet

Milom, TV was secured with face frame p/n 151954 and mounting brackets to the bottom of the TV. Looks like there are 2 bolts coming up from the bottom that screw into the frame.

My bedroom TV is in a cabinet in the corner ... it was attached to the door by an aluminum frame that was covered by wooden cabinetry ... the TV was mounted on a sloping shelf and held in place by a metal strap over the top ... does this sound anything like your rig.

If it does ... loosen the two bolts that tighten the metal strap ... one is easy ... one you have to remove the drawer below and do a little blind turning with a socket to get it loose. The TV will still be difficult to remove because there is a very thick and rigid plastic strip that is stapled to the back of the wood cabinetry and holds the TV down ... you need to pry that plastic strip up and walk the TV through the opening ... you need two people ... the TV is heavy and you have cables and cords that must be disconnected ... we used a tall plant stand to set the TV on while disconnecting ...

I am sure my rig is not exactly like yours ... I am hopeful this helps

thanks for the tips, now I have a better idea of what's behind and how its constructed.

I opened the bottom double door cabinet and removed the TV by first pulling out the screws from the bottom. Once out old TV is out what to do? I measured the opening and ordered a new cabinet door with hinges. Got some thin finish plywood and fixed up the inside of the cabinet. Bought a Vizio 22" TV. Measured where to cut the "new" door for the TV outlets and mounting screws. Stained ever thing to sort of match. Mounted the door with the hinges and installed a knob and a holding bracket. Here is a couple of pictures of my work. Added bonus you get an extra storage space with this idea.
PS: If have not done the front TV I included another picture of my Front TV.
