Not sure what you want changed, but I do know that it is more than just software. There is a hardware interface, which appears to be RS-232 or maybe RS-485.

I had to ship my controller and panel back to get the firmware upgraded, as they would not offer to do it in the field, even though I have knowledge and do this type of thing for a living.

I got the impression that dealers don't even get to program it, that they are shipped pre-programmed to the dealer. The manufacturer may have a way to program (ie: newmar ) but my guess is they purchase them preprogrammed as well.

Are you thinking of changing the shed order?

Yes, i would like to change the order of sheds. I just had NewMar install a additional 110 relay operated outlet for the conversion from a Twin Temp Jr to a Twin Temp II. I want make sure that it was setup right.

Thanks for reply

You may be able to do this yourself in the wiring panel without a programming change.

What is currently setup as your shed order?

Mine has Heater 1, Heater 2, AC1, AC2, AC3 and Engine Block Heater.

There is room for 1 more device, but I can't figure out what I would shed beyond that.
