How do you remove front TV?

2009 Fleetwood Excursion. Need to replace TV but can’t get it off the mount.

It doesn’t “lift up”. Can’t get behind it to access bolts.

Anyone with experience?

Yours may be slightly different but it worked for me.

Is there a finished panel under the TV? I can access the back of my TV by taking two screws off the panel and it drops out. Not sure yours is the same, ours is an American Coach.

But if yours is the same you will see an aluminum frame that both bolts to the back of the TV but also has a bracket that goes into the bottom.

It's enough to reach up and unscrew as needed and plug and unplug wires. It's a 2 person job.

If you aren't sure post a picture of the area under the TV.

Figured it out, embarrassed at how easy. Two screws on each side released the TV mount
