Can someone give me some clues as to how to get behind this? Need to check the tank sensors.

Looking through these many links and pictures may give you a clue as to how to remove the panel some of the pictures show screws with washers behind them that maybe painted over removing them must drop out panel also the mounting for TV may have to be removed also.
This link is in QT's # 3 TV to LCD conversions.

No help. I do not see any type of fasteners holding the carpeted panel to the bay opening. It goes edge to edge with no gap at all.

If it like my 2010 Dutchstar it is a little bit of work and finess. There should be some screws in the carpet covered plywood along the bottom and sides. First remove the tv and then the radio and screws. It takes a lot of twisting to get the piece though the opening but it will fit

On my DSDP the tank sensors are on the driver side in the water / sewer service , bay. Just look under /behind the panel.

The tank sensors are not on that side. However, I can tell you to remove you need to take out the speakers and radio in order to get to the panel screws. Also if I recall, you will then need to remove the solid surface enclosure prior to getting panel off due to clearance with door hardware. Did all this a few years ago. Customer service walked me through the process. Hope this helps.

Don't know what year they moved the sensors but on my 2014 the sensors are on the street side also. First take a flsahlight and look under the water compartment white panel at the tanks and see if they are on the street side in your 2007. Ya, My 2001 had the sensors on the curb side.

Did you find a way to remove the entertainment center. I was told to remove the radio and go through the radio hole and remove the speakers. Once I removed the radio I couldn't get my hands through to find the bolts or nuts to remove the speakers. I'm considering just cutting the board out and making a new one when replacing. I am curious if you found a better solution. My coach is a 2006 4508

I removed the speakers but still can't remove it. Been traveling since December, but I am going to a dealer in Orlando to have them fixed.

On my 2005, there are a few screws along the bottom edge (the easy part). Then, after removing the speakers, there are screws thru cleats that go into the compartment side panels ... these screws can be accessed but it's no fun at all.

That's why I am going to leave it to someone who knows what they are doing. I will have them reinstall in an easy removal way.

Maybe I can help I just had mine apart a few weeks ago. It's not easy.
1. Remove the TV and Mount
2. Remove radio and speaker. On mine the speaker are mounted with screws from the front of the speaker.
3. Remove the bottom strut mount bracket leave strut attached.
4. Brace the compartment door open. On mine I was able to use a piece of heave wire bent to attach to the awning support arm and the door.
5. Look behind the Corian facia you will see they have glued a piece of 3/4" X 3/4" wood around the edges. Remove the screws from these.
6. Remove the carpeted side pieces. Remove screws and work it out they will come out. This give room to remove the Corian. It's a tight fit.
7. Remove Corian.
8. Now you should have access to the screws the hold the plywood backing in. Remove screws than plywood. Actually it's not plywood but OSB.

When I reinstalled the plywood I cut a 1/2" off the side and a notch on the top left hand corner to allow easier installation.
I also added some support the the radio mounting bracket as it was very lose.

Hope this helps.

The speakers from the outside appear to have a bezel, which is not but part of the speaker housing. The grill removes easily and exposes the 6 screws the allow to remove the speaker

Well I don't know if this helped the OP but it sure helped me! I have to get behind it to in order to modify the over flow tube to help with retaining fresh water while traveling. I took a quick look at it the other day and had no clue how to get it out.

I probably won't get to this right away but when I do I'll post photos.

Thanks !
