Re: What is Best Way to Remove and Replace Dometic fridge from 18 ft 1986 Sunrader Shorty?


 

The usual way ToyHome owners get the fridge in and out of the coach is to remove the front passenger seat (4 bolts + one or two if the seatbelt needs to move) and
jockey the fridge out the passenger door opening.

If you have an oversized rear window, you can also remove the window and get the fridge out that opening.? That's more awkward because you have
to lift it several feet in the air and you don't have a proximate floor to rest it on as you maneuver it. The window is basically a "sandwich" of the
inner and outer frames with the cab wall in between. Remove all the screws holding the inner frame to the outer frame and they just come apart
(Note: be sure to support the glass if/when you separate the window frames).

I don't know of a competent/reliable/inexpensive RV mechanic (I usually did all my own work). One possible compromise solution if you're somewhat
handy is to do the physical removal and installation yourself, then hire an RV expert to hook up the gas and electrical systems.

Good luck.
