Tune up
I have a 2011 Jayco Greyhawk I'm going to change the plugs and air filter. Can I get to all 10 plugs by removing the doghouse?? I'm guessing the passenger seat needs to be removed to do that also..It ...

It's hard to get to the plugs on the V10 in the E-series no matter what you do. At the least it would take an assortment of socket extensions and universal joints and so forth. The doghouse covers about as much of the engine as the hood does, maybe a little less; most of it is really underneath the dashboard.
As others said, it is at the very best pointless to replace the plugs at 14,000 miles unless you have some specific reason to believe it's necessary (such as one that is actually broken).
I think the problems with plugs being long and collecting carbon and causing trouble on removal were only for the three valve V10, but I may well be remembering that incorrectly. Earlier versions of the two-valve V10 did have barely adequate thickness of the threaded part of the head such that the spark plug holes had a tendency to strip out, particularly if the plugs were overtorqued at all; I think that was resolved well before 2011.
