Transformer Disconnect/Access

How do you access the transformer to replace or just to disconnect? Its under the front couch. I have a 1978 trade wind , 25 ft. Only an air vent outside.

I assume your trailer has a front gaucho. If it does, see my signature blog on how to remove the gaucho. I installed a 110 electric switch just rearward of the curb side window. This switch controls the 110 receptacle I installed adjacent to the new 12 volt unit in the front curbside corner of the trailer.


This is the switch as installed - see post #17 here:

The above mentioned switch controls this receptacle in the area of 12 volt converter behind the old gaucho.
