Removing a TV in a Sunstar LX

steved28 · 10-01-2019, 10:01 AM

I have been contimplating switching out the TV in our living area, it's mounted in an inset area above the electric fireplace. But for the life of me I can't figure out how they got it in there, never mind how to get it out. The wall it is on is shared with the half bath, but I don't see any access from the other side of the wall either. I must be missing something...

Can you hold a smart phone or camera at the top and take a picture looking down? I have to do that to see the connections on my TV.

Didn’t someone ask about this a couple of months ago? If I remember correctly there was a wood trim piece at the top and on the left side of the tv. Those were removable by removing a couple of screws and then the tv could be lifted to remove it from the wall.

I am having the same problem. Did you find a solution?

Have you found a solution yet to remove the tv?

No, I haven't really pursued it further because I have an appointment for some warranty work in November and figured I would ask them then. The TV works fine, I would just like to upgrade it at some point to something "smarter" so I can stream directly to it without using my current dongle.

I did a similar upgrade to my 31BE. What I found was that the apps on Roku, Fire and other devices are updated more often than the smart tv apps.

I contacted Winnebago about removing the bedroom tv and the tech emailed me a diagram and a pic which made it semi-easy. They have been helpful whenever I've called and never ask me if I'm the original owner, etc.

Winnebago told me to remove top wood trim piece above tv. That gives you access to the 4 top screws holding the the tv mounting bracket. After removing the 4 screws, lift the tv up and out. I removed bedroom tv this way, but it didn't require removing any wood trim. Removing tv is the only way to access hdmi ,etc. plugins. I have always had a good experience contacting Winnebago online for technical help.

how do you remove the wood trim? There are no screws holding it into place.

The wood trim is only held in with two small finishing nails at either end. Gently pry it out. You can use a small putty knife to get between the trim and wall and pry it out.
