tailight cover on 2008 Class C Four Winds Siesta

Question

We just purchased a 2008 Class C Four Winds Siesta.  Having trouble with the right tail light (probably a ground is loose)but we have no idea how to get the big red cover off.  Called Thor and they couldn't tell us guy said "that was the year they bought whoever made the Siesta he didn't know if it was Monaco or Damon"  They bought  both companies that year.  So back to square one!  Can anyone tell us how to get cover off please.  Moderator if this is the wrong forum please move to correct forum.  Thanks

Look at the raised printing on the plastic tail light cover. The manufacturer of the assembly is printed there if it is a U.S. model and subject to the DOT (Department of Transportation) guidelines. Once you know who manufactured the assembly, you can share it with everyone else who then won't be shooting in the dark.

Ok Chum Lee we found these numbers on the tail light. DEPO 01-334-1906R-R   SAE AIP2RST 02.   Have googled them and from what I can get it is a Dodge tail light but cannot find out any info any where on line as to how to remove the lense.  There are no screws any where and of course as RVrs know no way to get to the back of the tail light.  Please do any of you know how to do that - do we need a special tool or something?   Really getting frustrated.  Thanks

Here's a video of how to replace the bulbs in (what seems to be) the same type of lamp unit on a Dodge Ram pickup.  The lens is permanently attached to the reflector, and the whole unit held in with a screw or two that (on the pickup) are on the side covered by the tailgate when it's closed.  I would assume that there must be similar screws holding it in place on the motorhome.

Thanks Drew - we have watched that video but sorry to say we cannot find any screws anywhere on the unit in that area. It is so frustrating. I guess we're finding the same stuff on the internet you guys are - thanks for searching though.
I really thought someone who has or has had one of these Siestas could enlighten us. Sure do appreciate you trying.

Check the first eight seconds of this Youtube video.  It looks like the lens is removed by a strong tug on the outer edge.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uvME3QXZNY
