Removing a 120 volt receptacle and cover plate

How do I get a 120 volt receptacle and plate out of the wall in my trailer? There are no screws showing.
I am guessing I have to pry the cover plate off, but figured I would ask here first.

If possible replace with a "real" box and outlet.

It's just a garden variety Speed Box Duplex Receptacle ... just carefully pry off the cover which is secured in place with a couple of plastic tabs to gain access to the receptacle itself.

some have small points on the back of the cover plate that snap into the receptacle. You would need to pry the cover off.

Pry off the face plate and then turn the screws on opposite corners. It may take many turns to remove the outlet.

Probably 1 piece. Work 1 side at a time
