I bought a 2012 Southwind 32VS and I can't figure out how to get behind any of the 3 TVs in order to upgrade to HDMI cables. All three are wired with coaxe which limits the resolution.

They are so close to the walls that I can't take a photo of the mounting bracket.
If anyone has had similar experiences I would sure appreciate some ideas of what to try!

Thanks in advance.

They have to be attached to a bracket of some type. Either there are screws that mount the bracket below the TV or they are on swing out brackets with locking tabs. Look around the perimeter of the TV for screws holding a bracket.

Look behind the TV from underneath. Do you see 2 screws that appear to be going vertically straight up towards the ceiling? if so unscrew them about 3/4 of an inch. now swing the bottom of the TV out 4" and lift the TV straight up.
If you don't see those screws, then it's not the type of bracket I think it is, and I'm sorry but I can't help you...

On my 2014 (not sure if yours is similar) the 40" mid tv is held in by 4 bolts accessed by removing the wood trim frame that surrounds the tv. The front tv is bolted to a piece of plywood through the back. You have to remove the access panels in the adjacent cabinets and reach in to remove the screws from the back. Bedroom tv is mounted to a steel bracket that mounts to the bottom of the overhead space. Remove the black cloth covered panel (it's velcro'd) overhead and then you can access the mounting screws.

On mine you lift straight up 2 or 3 inches then pull the bottom out away from the wall. then you can remove it.

To access the Mount on the front tv in my Fleetwood, I have to remove the camera monitor and go up from the bottom. My rear tv is mounted to an arm that is bolted to the ceiling

You know they make a converter from RCA Plugs to HDMI. I have a 2011 32VS, I use the DISH 211vip receiver and I use the colored RCA connectors instead of the HDMI. As for the midship tv, the wood trim around the tv is held by screws covered with a matching button. Remove the wooden plug and then remove the screws and that will get you access to the tv. Also keep in mind, and overly long HDMI will degrade your picture. Good luck.

The bracket holding the TV could be attached to the backside of the trim around the TV and all come off at once when the wood trim is removed. On mine removing 6 screws remove trim, tv, and bracket all at once.
