I can only surmise, but it seems that the previous owner allowed water to leak from the water inlet onto this panel, to the point that is is rotten behind the black water and grey water tank levers, and I will need to replace it.

A couple of questions
What is that panel called ?
Can I order one from Heartland or do I have to make my own?
Is it a big deal to replace this ?

Lastly the screw in capo is missing aw well, and i never thought about replacing it, but I should probably purchase one, does anyone know what size it is (I can only assume that it is a standard size.)

Thanks for the info and assistance

Gavin

Gavin,

This is called the UDC (universal docking center). The box is pre-made and set into place as a single piece.

If it’s the back wall that’s rotted, consider repairing in place by gluing a piece of FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) to a piece of paneling.

You’d want to mark the new piece and pre-drill the holes to reinstall all the items on that wall.

The screw in cover for the UDC bottom should be obtainable from Heartland. In practice, I never use mine while driving. The airflow helps keep the UDC dry.
