dickandlois Report post Posted October 16, 2014 Neilraymond, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! Your coach has a 454 Engine most have 2 screws to remove so the top portion can be removed. They have large heads between the size of a nickle and a quarter and often hide under the carpet nap. Using a magnet to find then is very helpful. Removing the lower section is done by removing the screws anchoring this portion to the coach floor. You did not mention what maintenance is needed so let the group know. No need to remove something that you do not need to ! Rich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nammerman Report post Posted October 31, 2014 I found some holes in carpet at rear of cover. But can't find anything in there to unscrew. I need to change plugs and check belts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickandlois Report post Posted October 31, 2014 Neilraymond, Looked up a picture of the doghouse used in your model year. Thinking the screws you are looking for are to the front, close the the firewall. likely 2 of them, one one each corner of the lower corners. Then the cover might rotate up with a hinge under the rear edge of the cover. Rich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
