I'm trying to install Roku on my RV television. How do I gain access to the back of the tv? 2018 Winnebago Vista

If is a factory tv mount, there is a small pull strap that unlocks the mount and can remove tv.

If dealer mount, maybe similar or may have screws from tv mount to wall mount that have to be removed before can remove tv.

Doesn't your coach have HDMI switch in it? Connect Roku there to port 3, then can watch on all TVs.

TJSIII-

Welcome to iRV2!

It would help us give better advice if you posted a picture of the TV and its cabinet. Instructions on posting pictures are here.

TJSIII, which coach model and which TV?

Mine sits on a bottom rail. Look behind the top of the TV, and if you see 6-8 screws, then that is the same system.

Take out the screws and the tv will tilt forward from the top and you can lift it off the bottom rail.

Get a helper!

How did the install go? What did you have to do to get TV loose?

I also have a 2018 Vista. Mine is the 2018 Vista LX 30T. It would always help if you told us the hole model name.
My roku was very easy. But I had easy access to the back of both TVs.

TJSIII, we love Roku TVs, and used them in our prior homes. On the motorhome we replaced 2 of the 4 factory installed TVs with Roku TVs (bedroom and main living area) within 2 weeks of picking up the coach (we missed our Roku TVs that much!!!). Later we replaced the other 2 (overhead driver TV and outside TV) with Rokus.

Each TV used a different mounting method.

The bedroom TV (32") frame is a swing-out door (there is storage behind the TV), so it was actually the easiest of the four to access. Only needed to remove the 4 VESA mounting bolts, and there were many holes in the mount such that I could match up with the Roku VESA points without modification.
The living area TV (50") uses a traditional non-adjustable static VESA wall-mount, and came right off by pulling 2 cords and lifting up and out. I did have to re-mount the bracket on the wall to adjust for the VESA mounting points being different from the Roku and the former Sony, and thankfully Fleetwood left lots of 3/4" plywood to do so (this, and the size of the TV, made it it the 2nd easiest of the TVs).
The driver overhead TV (32") was more difficult as its frame is not hinged, so it required a helper, to whom I am married, to hold it while I removed the 4 screws that attached the wood frame to the cabinet (the VESA mount was attached to the wood frame) so I could disconnect wiring. It also required the drilling of new holes to align with the the different VESA mounting locations.
The exterior TV (50") was the most difficult. It was on what at first seemed to be a normal swing-out arm, but in fact the TV side had a special mounting bracket I'd never seen before (to attach to the VESA points on the TV, then attach to the swing-out arm). I had to make my own bracket to match the Roku (this was not a Roku issue...it was an issue with the exterior mounting mechanism).

Hope this helps...yours could be mounted with any of these methods, or some other method. As others have said, photos, would be helpful.
