As noted above, we had to rotate the passenger side seat so it was facing the side window, seat back then was extended to the full
Upright position.
The dog house cover then had room to be raised up between the
Two seats.
It hinges at the dash and when raised gives good access to the top of the engine.

There are spots that I dont think could ever
be reached.

Looking for the oil dipstick on the big 454 gasser
Now.. !!

It's a LONG dipstick. My old one was from the front.

Wow this brings back a lot memories. I had a 1985 28' for 19 years. Sometimes I wish I still had it, I had so few problems with it.

I agree. It doesn't sound right that you would have to remove a seat to open the engine cover.
I would try to push, wiggle, twist or whatever it takes to get the cover open.
I have heard of some that had hidden screws holding the cover in addition to the latches. (Maybe it was something a previous owner did?)

When you get open, let us know how you did it?

I really like the older Allegro's. :C

Moved from Class C.
