Last night I changed a bulb in the rear of my '95EVC. Fortunately
it was a bulb on the right side, and access was easy because the
well behind/in front of it has the auxiliary battery.
But as I contemplated a future need to change on on the left, I was
stumped on how to access the left rear bulbs. Has anyone figured
out how to do this? The booklet for the EV shows easy access, but
the EVC has water intake, and fuse panel blocking things. Any
suggestions?
Others have posted their ways; here's one more. You can get to it
easily with a reasonable amount of arm room if you remove the furnace.
Leave the aft panel containing the fuse panel and pockets in place,
and instead remove the panel below the closet -- the one that has
vents in it, and supports the aft port portion of the lower bed. Then
pull out the furnace. This is fairly straightforward, though you have
to disconnect the furnace's propane line, and you need to check it for
leaks when reassembling.
I doubt that removing the furnace is an easier way to get at the
bulbs, though it's probably not too much harder. OTOH, if you ever
have the furnace out for maintenance anyway, it might be a good time
to take the opportunity and change all the bulbs back there.
Especially if you've already had a bulb burn out on the right side --
the left side may go at any time.
One more note: if you instead go behind the fuse panel, be sure and
disconnect the coach battery first. There are exposed wires back
there.
