How to Remove 2017 Dometic Penguin II Interior Cover

[Bobfirst]

To remove the interior a/c cover do you remove the red or green screws or both ? And what type tool is needed to remove these screws? Thank you , Bobby

I know the bolt in the red circle holds down the roof unit.  I think, because I don’t remember, the screw in the green circle holds the control portion of the inside cover in place.  To remove 90% of the inside cover, open the curb and street side vents completely and 2 screws will be visible in each opening.  Now that you know where to look, open the front and rear vents completely and look on the hinge side of the opening and you should see 2 screws in each opening, but they are much harder to see.  Use a long #2 Phillips screwdriver with a round barrel because you will be rubbing on plastic and a square barrel will hinder your efforts.

I have the 3314850.000 Air Distribution Box on Hull 313.

See if this document for installation of the Dometic Air Distribution Box 3314850.000 answers your questions.

Moses I removed 2 Philip screws from the front , rear & side vents but I still can’t pull down the inside white cover . What am I doing wrong ? 
 

[mossemi]

If you have the 8 screws out from the vents, then I think the 2 screws inside the filter area do need to be removed.  You circled 1 of them in green.

I don’t know if that was your only reason for wanting the cover off, but you should be able to see that label by taking off just the return air grill and filter.
