Help! Cant find my television.

My Rockwood 8282ws 5th wheel, 2013 model is holding my living room television hostage. The Tv goes down into the counter top when in transit and with the push of a button, presto@ it rises up on pistons thingys like the rear gate of our SUV. But,today, after driving 300 miles to a CG on Lake Lewisville, the Tv won't come up. Feels like the cable has lost tension or become disconnected from the latch. Cant get to the latch end behind the tv and fireplace, and can't get to the button release end behind the frig. Anybody got a quick solution for this? Under warranty. I'll call a local dealer tomorrow.

Push to release the TV

Hello,

I had the same TV lift in my TT 2703SS. I used to have to lean on the top of the TV then press the button. Upon delivery the whole assembly was broken away from the wall, it needed glue and screws to fix. It was not working like many things when I first got the trailer.

OK. Thanks for the pointers folks. ;~}. After a call to my service man, Preston, I opened an investigation on the missing TV. After moving the frig forward about six inches I was able to reach the scene of the crime; being the cable release button. After applying a lot of pressure it finally gave me what I wanted, a television. Got it up now and will leave it up until dealer can more appropriately "fix" it.
