So I just bought a 2009 Hawk that did not come with an auxiliary battery. I am trying to gain access to the wiring that exits the camper to attach to the truck wiring and can't figure out how to remove a panel that is in the way. The blue arrow is pointing to the panel I would like to remove. The black arrows show all the screws I removed to get the panel off. In addition to those screws, I also removed one inside the adjacent cabinet. Once these were removed the board didn't even budge. Any suggestions on how to gain access to this point are greatly appreciated.

It looks like there is also a screw under the monitor that isn't indicated. I also remove the strip on the bench next to the panel you want to remove. The first time I took it off it was kind of a press fit and required a little persuasion.

Ok. So no screw under the monitor. It was just a press fit like you said and required much persuasion. The tolerance was so close it started splitting the panel next to it. I moved it just enough to gain access. Here are some pictures for others in the future. By the way, I also had to remove the cabinet door to allow room for the panel to slide.

Access achieved:

The part with tight tolerance:

Thanks for the help. Maybe ill create a write up when I finish it all.
