The squeaky wheel... is under my dash!

Howdy folks!
This is a great forum, I'm a long time listener, first time caller and I'm rollin' in a 2017 Thor ACE 29.4. It's a great rig with one caveat and that is the infernal squeaking under the dash. Passenger side and it seems to be the wooden structure doing the squeaking.
Anybody got any tips on how I might grease this squeaky wheel?

Thanks!

We have a 2dr blazer outfitted like an expeditionary vehicle. Plastic interior panels the size of dinghy sails.
We have a 24.1 Thor.

Neither have a single squeak.
A contortionist wife, me driving a bumpy winding road at high speed, and a roll of self sticky felt dots and some batting along with a 'stuffing stick'/ramrod/prybar is the only cure.

I am not familiar with the dash in your coach, but can you remove the top of the dash or part of it and then drive down the road too see if you can locate the noise.

These dashes are made like cheap plywood furniture covered with foam and plastic and screwed to anything close to hold them in place. As you drive down the road and encounter the squeaks have your passenger eyeball the end of the dash vs. the side wall - there's probably relative movement. Mine is easy to see on the driver's side. The trick is to get into/under the dash and secure it better as the Thor builders don't car if the screws they run in hit solid structure or just the thin plywood paneling.
