Removal of Original Fridge

[David]

Thanks Bob and Mike,
I found the front screws which were hidden under plastic plugs along the left
and right leading edges. After that I followed your suggestions and it was
successfully removed and taken out the door with little effort. New unit will be
delivered tomorrow. If anyone is in the market for a new 2 way or 3 way fridge,
PPL Motorhomes in Houston seems to have the best prices currently. David Hanvy

the propane at the tank and then disconnect the propane line at the back of the
fridge. Inside, there were a couple of screws under the trim pieces top and
bottom and slide it out. It is not very heavy at all, just bulky, and I took
the doors off first to have more clearance and even less weight. I used my
motorcycle jack in the aisle in front of the fridge and slid it out even with
and onto that platform to save lifting. A proper height plastic or wood step or
a small platform of 2x4s would do the same thing. I had heavy cardboard on the
floor and covering all surfaces I might come in contact with on the way out the
front door (slide the passenger seat as far back as possible). Once out, I
tipped the top to my wife, lifted the bottom and we walked it out. Reverse the
steps to get the new one in.

this way. I would appreciate any insight regarding what is required to remove
the old unit. I can see what appears to be a track when I look at the back but
have no clue as to how many screws and there locations. (The 89 model has strips
of mirror installed above the rear dinette seat) Thanks to all. David Hanvy 89WB

rear of the bottom tracks under the frig and the rest are in the edge of the
front metal trim. Don't forget all the clamps on the AC power cord! I will
write a step by step post on rebuilding a 3 way frig soon. Give me a call if I
can help.
