383 control panel

[Retired CSIGuy]

Have a '10 383. So far relaly like it. Couple small issues but nothing big. Only thing I don't like is the control panel location on teh swinging wall. I want to make some changes, but can't get the plastic face to turn loose on the right side after I've removed all the screws frome the face plate. Does any one know whiy it won't come loose? It seems the holding tank montior panel is hold me up and I don't want to force it in case there are other screws holding it that I can't see.....".anyone?.....anyone?.....Bueler?" Thanks

There are 2 screws holding the indicator for water levels and pump switch I believe behind face plate that can be removed. I remoted the generator start switch so it could be started when wall is in traveling mode. Also check screws at top of swivel point of the wall to make sure they don't loosen up. I added a couple more just to be safe. I got my 383 December '09 and have well over 12,000 miles on it. Keep watch on the tires, I had one with side wall bulges just last week. It was made week 26 of '09 as all 7 tires were. Carsille replaced it at no charge.

Thanks Car. I figuered there had to be a couple screws in there somewhere holding it. That's exactly what I wanted to to....dupe out the control panel on the back side. When your are refering to screws at the top of the hinge point. I assuming you mean the nuts on the bolts yes? I even wnt as far as to make some additional secure points to the overhead storage shelf to keep the wall a bit more steady. That cheesy little strap from the handle to wall wouldn't hold anyting. I'm an ex- tire guy, grew up in that business so I know boo-coo stuff about tires, wheels, suspension in general, brakes, etc., so I keep a close watch on my rubber but thanks for the heads up anyway
