It is easy on my '99.  Could be different for you though.

The big brushed aluminum panel on mine is velcroed on.  You start by removing the angle strips that hold it from the front.   They are all screwed in place with a torx head.   Once those are off just pull gently on the panel and it comes right off.  Could be entirely different on yours, but I thought I would toss this other there.  I remember the first time I looked at the other side with the AquaHot.  I could not see how to get the AquaHot out as I thought that panel could not be removed.  Pretty clever how it is attached - same on both sides.    Good luck!  Russ

I removed the cover on the other side of the tanks to remove and repair the waste tank, 
Mine had about a thousand screws and some rivets.
I did not put the cover back on and now use that area for storage.
