Anybody figure some way to keep the wood trim on the bedroom tv to stay on?

Velcro don't work.

ak,The Velcro maybe to small a strip. There is a commercial grade Velcro thats 2 inches wide that may work for you. The commercial grade has larger hooks on strips.

I tried that 2" tape all around and after a week setting and then running down the road it is laying on the bed again. Every Essex I looked at had the frame dropped off and setting on the table top. I'm thinking of pining it to the frame to keep the weight off of the Velcro.

Is there any wood around the TV box that a couple of screws may help thru the frame?

Yes there is, but I'm sure she won't want to see screw heads. I'm thinking of shooting a couple brads to hold it on plus the Velcro. It should be easy enough to remove if ever need be. Just one of those aggravating things like the exhaust fan sucking crapper door shut while taking a shower.

a k:

Have 4502, 08 Essex, but not sure, or at least we haven't experienced release of that bedroom t.v. frame....YET . However, if you are able to "shoot" a couple of brads, you might have room instead, of using a couple of small, fancy, polished brass, round head wood screws rather than brads which can still work loose. The wood screws WILL hold much better, will look better, and can easily be removed if need be. Ya might also countersink the drilled hole prior to threading in a "flat head" screw and if countersink is deep enough you could use a button of dowel rod of the same diameter as the countersink and install a plug to cover the flat head screw once seated. Plug can be stained to pretty closely match the wood of the frame and should look pretty good. I think I'd use the polished round head w. no plug if I were doing it.....at least until "da boss" (DW) told me otherwise!!!....eh? Steve & Lynette

If you go the countersink way, Newmar has flush or raised buttons to plug the holes and they are available in most if not all finishes.

Jeannie in parts would know.

I was just in the bedroom and that's not my worst thing now, finally found out what my air noise was. Cracked exhaust at the outlet of the turbo. I know I seen a fix somewhere on the forum. Didn't know you could take cover off of the back floor until I researched the forum.

I don't know how anyone would find anything if it wasn't for the great forum members.

I really appreciate everyones help
