False cabinet wall - how to access?

Jayco x19h.
On the wall of the wardrobe cabinet, under the tv, is a set of electrical outlets and a 12vdc for the tv. What I want to do is add a dual USB 12vdc socket with voltage reader on it... So I need access to the stuff behind that false panel.
Any idea how this panel comes apart to access it? I'm assuming it's the inside panel, within the wardrobe, that I'd be removing to do this. However, I can't see a logical way to remove it without breaking something.

Just use a utility knife carefully and cut a square hole (if you know where the studs are cut along them). To repair again: install the panel again and put some matching trim around it, to look original.

There's gotta be a way to get the false wall out. It's NOT an exterior wall, it's a cabinet side wall, so I'm not even sure there's studs (I don't see any nail marks to secure it to studs).

You have the visual how it looks like. Maybe someone with the same model can pitch in.
Accessories like cabinets, benches etc. are screwed down in place in RV's and most of them can be easily removed for remodeling.

Do you see any tiny staple marks on the inside panel? They don't usually putty them, so you should be able to see them.

If you don't see any, then maybe the outside panel was added last. It was probably stapled, too, but the staples may be covered with trim.

In my experience, those panels are very brittle and will easily break, when prying on them. ALJO may have the best idea. Cut your own access hole on the inside, add trim to the piece you cut out and hold it back in place with small screws. You might need to get back in again, anyway.
