DBRV.0 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 I've looked in my front TV and bedroom TV, and can't figure out for either one, how to access for service or removal. Now primarily for removal to replace with a newer unit. I've searched Youtube for examples, but come up short for my coach, or something similar. Nothing is obvious for the front TV. I'm including two photos. Access fasteners from from where?: - the fromt - the rear - the side cabinets The best direction seems that it might be the rear panel, which feels like it has a tiny bit of play. - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdw12345 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 The rear panel uses the same catches as the cabinets, just get ahold oit on both sides with your finger tips and pull towards the windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cherry Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Assuming you are familiar with mounting or hanging an LED/LCD on a wall bracket, there is (or should be) a metal bracket that has FOUR (metric) screws that go through something like a big "X" bracket and that bracket is solidly mounted to a couple of vertical or horizontal braces or wood members. Knowing Monaco...maybe they are wood. I have never had to pull mine. Pulled a REALLY BIG CRT out of a Winnie Gasser....Still ache. As to the rear... Mine has the bracket. BUT, the decided to make it challenging. I have to take a 10" or longer 1/4" drive extension and then put it on a nut driver and use a socket to get to the mounting bolt head. IN SOME cases, they used a METRIC Allen head. Mine sits on the counter top...but is attached to the wall behind it. It comes off, since it is OUTSIDE and not framed in...easily...once I made up the extensions and figured out which bolts to remove. I did NOT see the pictures of your back TV. On the front, You have to remove the panel. It has snap in locks...and then you can see. Next up, you work from the back of the TV putting your body in a contortionist's position and wedging your head up between the shades or windshiedl and the open spaces. A high powered LED Mag light is great. SERIOUSLY, one individual a few years ago used an LED Miner's light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve P Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 The back panel pops off (mounted on spring clips. The front of the box on mine has four wood plug concealing screws. Once the back is off, the disassembly gets easier... Just make sure to put the back on very firmly before travel, to avoid a near heart attack when braking for a corner... not that I would know from experience! Hah!

Steven P Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 They've covered the back access above. My front has wood plugs hiding screws. That opening at the top of yours used to be at the bottom of mine. I had to remove the plugs and remove screws them the cover comes out. It's possible your front cover could have similar snap in latches like the back panel. This is the best pic I have and I highlighted (in red) where the plugs are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My front has finely finished wood. No plugs. See the photo. BTW, my rear panel turns out to be snap-in, so I have access.

I've got an all-day project today and will be at our son's place (away from the RV) for a few days, so I'll get back to this topic next week. Then I'll post pix of the bedroom TV, which has no rear panel and no visible plugs. Thank you all for your information and direction! - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis H Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 The back panel on mine has screws that hold it in place. Here's a picture story of my replacement. https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/443209174118177306/6017273845396401422 My rear TV is a PITA since it's on it's own slide behind the cabinet. I finally trashed the entire thing and mounted a 41" TV on the shelf.....Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Nice woodwork on that front TV cabinet. No plugs is right! I'm not sure how my rear TV came as the PO had replaced it, however, I wanted a bigger TV in bedroom and made a hinged door and mounted the new TV on the door and it latches w 2 window latches for a tight close. Gave me extra storage behind the TV. It's not in our way and tilts down for easier viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'had' that same Sharp TV, in that exact cabinet, and my back panel is screwed on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
