Convenience Center modifications
Since we picked up our new 2250LE Forest River Sunseeker late last fall, I've been busy with various projects. The latest one was the addition of a meter and moving the slide switch from the wall next...

The panel had an existing opening for a switch, just like the one for the slide. Both of those openings had the blank-out plates, and as you can see, I modified one to fit the switch for the slide.
Using a surface mount switch backer plate, I initially cut the the opening to fit the meter at the workbench.
Then, I mounted the plate on the convenience panel with the bottom openings aligned using the two black screws. With that in place, I used a 3/16" drill bit in my cordless drill, and drilled several holes through the panel just inside the opening of the black backer plate. After drilling the holes, I used a small hand saw to cut between the holes, then used a course file (rasp) to smooth the opening to fit.
The panel is plastic and perhaps 3/16" thick, so it was pretty easy to enlarge the opening to fit the meter.
Help that hopes!
