Thanks to all responders! Mine was different than all responces but you gave me the courage to try. I have a "L" shaped peice of floor and wall that is screwed in six places (two under the carpet and four behind a panel valcroed? to the wall). After I found and removed all screws, it was a peice of cake.Happy Trails.
Yours sounds exactly as mine. However, if you have a rear closet right above the L section, there's a good chance that you have a hinged trap door in the floor of the closet. You have to feel around for it (assuming that the closet floor is carpeted). You'd never know it's there unless you really looked for it. I didn't know about mine until someone else pointed it out to me. You can also look up from your engine compartment, and you should be able to make out the door panel in the roof of the engine compartment. Mine opens up, and the air cleaner is right there. I can almost sit on the bed and change the air cleaner.
ON EDIT: Now that I think of it, I had to cut the carpet with a utility knife at the seams and the two front bolts of the trap door opening because Newmar had solid carpeted right over the entire door.
