Basement door removal

I have a 2000 Coachmen Santara class A
I need to remove a lower compartment door. First step was removing all the hinge door screws. Thinking that the door would come off? Wrong!
I'm not sure what comes next to remove door? Above the door is a screw cover not sure if that is attached to door hinge. If so how would you remove the screw cover.
Could anyone help me with this door removal...........

Thanks,
John

If the design is anything like our Georgetown. You need to proceed as follows:

Take the middle vinyl strip out of the molding immediately above the stow-bin doors. You'll see a long strip of about 3/16" round metal bar running along the length of the bins. All the doors between the aft of the front wheel arch to the front of the back one hang off this bar with a key-hole shaped top hanger.

There's a tie-down for that pivot bar at the front end. Unbolt the tie-down and pull it away from the body and you can slide the doors off from the front.

We had a failure of the wooden structure supporting the stow-bin doors (at the front end) and that's how my clever son-in-law figured it out. I suspect that most RV manufacturers used a similar design for below-chassis stow-bins.
