Anyone happen to know where the Compass Connect Control Unit is for a 2022 Imagine, 2500RL?
Virtually every light needs to be dimmable, IMHO
Thanks, Rick

On my 321bhts it was in the pass thru storage behind the rear panel. Easy to get to and work on. For the non compass connect lights that have wall switches, I put in these:

I used a sharp knife to make the hole in the wall just a little bit larger. Nearly a direct replacement.

OK, found the control unit, it is in an upper kitchen cabinet by the sink...
The down side is my 2022 2500RL uses a common ground so I need a High Side dimmer switch and the WS-01DC is apparently a low side switch, basically I can't use this dimmer
If anyone has been successful installing the RF Dimmer WS-01DC, please share...
FYI, I really don't like the knob type, would much prefer the remote
Oh well, back to the drawing board

Sorry for being a bit slow to respond. Not getting Tapatalk notifications.
Never got around to writing up the install as I was going to take more pictures when I replaced one of the dimmers (it whines).
However there are more pictures in the thread linked below regarding moving the One Connect module.

I am also happy to answer any questions here or in a PM.

Quick question
For the high side dimmer, does it go behind the Compass Connect panel or after the Control Unit before the lights?
At my Control unit, I don't have a bundle of common ground wires
Haven't yet taken the Compass Connect out to see what is there, any tricks to get the face plate off w/o breaking it?
Thanks, Rick

The dimmer must be wired into the wires that go to the lights. This is downstream of all electronics. In my case, downstream of the one connect unity board. So. Basically, find the wires that go to the lights. Thanks n my case has t was a two conductor lamp cord type wire where one conductor was power and one was ground. So, for me, easy to find the ground.
No faceplate pulling here. Find the info mitt board and wire in your dimmer between that and the lights.
Hope this helps. The dimmer capability has been essential to our enjoyment of the coach.2021 Reflection 312 BHTS, Silverado 2500 Duramax

Dimmers on 2500RL
I did the dimmer install on the 2500RL this past weekend. Figured I would post here as a followup for Toy4Rick and whoever lands on this thread. I know Rick doesn't like the knob dimmers but the install should be similar without having to pull the wires. I installed dimmers on the awning lights and the ceiling lights. I located the control panel in same location in the cabinet above the sink behind a false panel. I used the high side dimmers and wired them back to control unit using the common ground on the unit. I have labeled the pics below. I used 14 gauge 3-conductor extension cord wire to simplify pulling the wires and help in identifying the correct circuits. I ran the wires by exposing the chase behind the TV and microwave. The microwave is easy to pull out by removing the 4 screws through the face plate. To identify the circuits I just used a volt meter on each of the terminals and turned the lights on and off. Removing the wires from the control unit is easy but not intuitive. The little black lever needs to be pulled/pushed away from the unit with a cam action to take pressure off the wire clamp. I hope the pics are self explanatory.
