I have a Thor-Windsport.  It has the original built in antique non-cable ready TV.  I want to remove it and put in a modern flat screen.

How do I remove the old TV short of using a SAWZALL on my woodwork?

Thanks much,
"CX"

Though this is on the Winnebago specific board, I'm sure you can get an idea or three on how to handle replacing your TV.

No, it is all wood trim and carpet, no screws or fasteners that I could find.  I am sure it can be accessed from the side cabinets but I don't want to destroy the cabinets just to make access.

has to be a way in there, can't imagine that they started from the tv cabinet and worked outwards. What about from the top looking downward?
 
There's a good chance that the television was mounted then then the cabinet built around it with staples.
 
Look for plugs or caps that appear decorative. They sometimes use them to hide the screws that hold the trim strips on. I've also seen printed strips or dots used to cover screw heads.

Ernie,

You figured it out.  The camper is full of these decorative buttons.  Under each button is a snap and a square head screw.  The entire wood bottom under the TV came off once I removed all of the screws.
