This article provides instructions for accessing an interior rear engine compartment on most coach floor plans.
Notice NOTICE
The rear engine compartment access cover and the associated fasteners may vary based on year, model, and floor plan.
1. To access the rear engine compartment, remove the wood panel. Most coach floor plans have a removable wood panel located at the bottom of the wardrobe or cabinet at the rear of the coach. This panel is typically fastened using clips or Velcro™. Some coaches may use wood buttons and screws.

2. Once the panel is removed, locate the mechanical fasteners and remove them accordingly. This may require a 3/8" nut driver bit and a screw gun/impact driver for quick removal. Some engine covers may fold down on a hinge once the screws are removed.

3. On coaches with ceramic tile, locate and remove the plugs in the tile floor area in front of the removed panel.

4. On coaches with a vinyl strip around the engine cover, lift the inside lip of the vinyl strip to expose the screws around the inside perimeter of the vinyl edge cover.

5. Coaches equipped with carpet instead of tile typically have fasteners buried in the carpet near the corners of the access cover.
6. Then remove the mechanical fasteners beneath the plugs, vinyl strip, or carpeting to access the engine compartment. Use a 3/8" nut driver bit, a #2 square head bit, or a Phillips head screw gun bit, depending on which fastener type is used in your coach.
7. The cover should then be able to be lifted from the access point. The cover may be dirty, so take the proper precautions in where it is placed during any inspection or service of the engine compartment to avoid any damage and/or soiling of the interior of the coach.
