A 2021 owner is having trouble with solar not working after a dealer replaced their batteries.  Victron showing nothing, etc.  Trying to find the battery distribution block and discover if the solar cables are even in position on the block before trying other things.
I found threads that have pictures of where the block is, but how is this space accessed?
The comment in the thread reads "inside the divider between the battery compartment and the outside storage compartment." 
How would an owner get access to this space?
@Denny16 do you remember this thread from Sept 2020?

    I've done this.  Lift the passenger side bunk cover.  The fuse is inside the passenger side compartment, which is also the exterior storage bay, but only accessible from inside.

    Access to the inverter itself is in the back half of the middle bunk, beside the batteries.

    @pthomas745,  as Marlee stated, lift the pax side of the rear bunk cover (it may have a few screws holding it down).  Then you can reach the screws on the outside storage box side of the divider.  The photo you posted, shows the two screws on the vertical brace, there are two on the top brace that holds,the bunk cover.  Once off you will see the fuses and 12 VDC power distribution box.  You might want to consider replacing the screws with magnetic cabinet latches, to make access easier next time round.
