10 year old single wide mobile home. Bathtub faucet needs stem or whole thing changed. Problem is there is no rear access. the other side of wall is a bedroom. No luck on youtube or other sites. Does that mean the unit comes out foward by taking piece by piece off? a few pix: 
The outer piece around stem is solid with faucet.
Wall looks to be sectional panels. any relevence?

After you do that get an access panel cover to allow you future access to the faucet or just make a clean cut and spackle the drywall back in.

That second picture looks like a led shield anchor. If it is you can drill out the center pin, remove it and the whole wall sheet thats its holding can be removed.
When ready, replace wall and led shields
Also known as hammer drive anchors

It's trashy to raise kids? Maybe he should just leave them with their mom while he goes around making more illegitimate children and never raising them.

In trailers yes

Actually,
What i believe you have pictured is a board thats made to look like tile that is held in place by hammer drive anchors. (If you press on the board in various places and there id no give from the mounting surface behind, it may also be glued in some fashion.
However, your first option would be to remove the valve stems from the faucet itself first
Your water would have to be off and remain off until you replace the stem. So pulling one and venturing out to find a match would be the thing to do

You try so hard

cut yourself an access panel and change the whole thing out included the faucet manifold. Oh and frick all of the comments about your trailer, nothing wrong with that.

I'm not trying
I'm stating that living in trailers is trashy

man, you did that quickly!...I would have had to study on it for another day before I got brave enough to start taking walls down.
you are lucky to be able to do it that way...I had to cut the wall last time I ran into that situation.
