I'll take a stab! I have had that panel off before. I agree with Tom that the gauges and switches are mounted to the plastic and will come off with the plastic. My coach has a radar detector that has two screws that hold the bezel on. These need to be removed. The Silverleaf computer has a plastic trim piece, but that stays put when you remove the panel.
If you have a radio, then there is probably a plastic bezel that is snapped in. If that is the case, it probably snaps out exposing a little metal box that the radio clips into. On my coach the little metal box was clipped to the plastic panel and came out with the panel. (FYI, my radio is mounted down low by the key, but I suspect they used the same arrangement when it was mounted up high).
One other maybe useful thing is that under my audio receiver there is a trap door that lifts up and allows access to the back side of the panel. I only recently discovered that as it is covered with black felt and only had a small hole in it as a clue.
Also, I used to have a smart tire on my coach, but it was a little box velcro'ed to the dash. I bet yours in mounted in a cutout on the plastic panel.
Can you provide a picture?
Cheers,
