2015 3011DS Convenience Center Panel Replacement

Hello, I recently purchased a 2015 Forest River Forester 3011DS. I am going through and replacing and fixing some items. I can not seem to find this monitor panel/convenience center anywhere. Does anyone know where I can order the replacement panel? I would prefer the same panel so everything is plug and play.

I have the EXACT SAME panel in my 2018 Sunseeker 2430S.
Aside from the appearance of cobwebs? on yours, is it not functioning?

I believe the newer model year units are now digital…..such is technology.

I don’t know where you live, so I’m attaching a map of North America which identifies various sales people for the Class C Forest River line of motorhomes. Sunseeker and Forester motorhome units are virtually identical, so these contacts will be able to help guide you. Forest River does not typically sell direct to owners, but through their dealer network.

You can try to contact your representative according to where you live, and they may be able to help you.

Thank you kenandterry! We are based in Idaho.

Everything, with the exception of the generator prime LED light, is functioning properly. This replacement would be purely cosmetic. I would like to figure out why the generator prime LED light isn't working. Hopefully it is just a loose connection. Thank you again for the contact info!

looks almost like some one put some tape over the panel and it has residue
try cleaning it off with some solvent on a Qtip

or try soapy water

turn off the battery and converter and it will be safe to do the cleaning
it is OK, to get some solvent on top of the switches ... just don't flood it

the little light is replaceable

Thanks Aussieguy! I did try cleaning it but its like whatever tape was used, the adhesive had a reaction with the clear plastic cover. It's almost as if the plastic on the control panel has melted.

For anyone else looking for this part, I had a dealership order the panel for me. Here is the information they provided: CONVENIECE CENTER PART# 40E13665A

I've been recently working on my "Convenience Center" too. Mine has a malfunctioning system monitor board. My go-to place for replacement parts is Bontrager's Surplus in White Pigeon MI. They have almost everything, but didn't have the board that I needed. You might give them a call to see if they have the panel, or maybe an upgrade panel that will do the trick.
They also have lots of switches and indicator lights if you want to replace the one that isn't working.
For an example of their pricing, I just got a new shower surround for $75. Same one on line was $250 up to $575...
Good luck,
Vince
