I am replacing the TV's in my 2005 Fleetwood Discovery. The front was a breeze but I can't figure out how to get the back one out. Any suggestions??

Just pulled mine out last weekend to attend to a loose coax connection. On my Bounder there is an oak front bezel, with 4 screws to remove. After that there is a horizontal top brace attaching to the top of the enclosure with L brackets.
Thats the easy part. Then it gets fun. On the bottom of the tv there are two rubber feet towards the front with nubs on the bottom of the frame that fit into the centers of the rubber feet. At the back there is a bracket that snugs up to the curved part of the TV to stabilize it. The trick is to lift straight up at the front of the TV, then slide it out. And it is real tight as the top of the TV pretty well has to touch the top of the enclosure.

Side note, getting the hollow rubber feet to sit on the bottom nubs is a chore in itself. I slid the tv in until it stopped at the nubs, then a flashlight and lift to pop the rubber feet back in.

If you set it down on the bed be sure it's not near the edge, and put it front down. They are not only heavy, they are 90% front heavy.

I didn't and it took out one of the cabinet doors on it's way to the floor.

I changed out the rear tv on my 2005 Bounder DP a couple weeks ago. In the hall closet prior to entering the bedroom there is an access panel about 8 inches square on the backside of where the tv is in the bedroom. I removed the panel and had access to the electrical, cable connection, and the rear brackets that held the old tv in. Tight fit but doable. Good luck.
