Heave-Ho
A few photos removing the fridge. It was too big to fit through the door so the window had to come out.
Removing the window is very similar on 99% of RVs. It is pretty easy depending on what the previous guy used to seal the window. Use a scraper to pry the window free gently. The most common, and I think best, is the butyl tape. Most will use 3/4 inch tape. Clean RV and window frame before re-install. It is a sticky almost clay-like roll of thick goo that you roll out onto the window frame and stick the window back in. When you screw the window in the goo oozes out a little and you trim that.
Disconnect propane, unplug electric, unscrew fridge from cabinet and pull it out.
The window is out. I wish I could have just opened the window, but had to completely remove window.
I protected the RV with some thick towels
The long ladder gave me a nice ramp to slide the fridge out.
I just slid it down the ramp.
I will install a roof AC soon, and will use the ladder as a ramp to just slide the AC unit onto the roof. I have a hill the ladder is sitting on that helps even the elevations, but you could sit it on a table, or extend the ladder longer for a less-sloped ramp.
I have a DC powered compressor fridge that I will be using, and it is not particular about level, and will use free solar power…
I can share that install later. I plan to put it on the dinette seat next to the fridge area, which will become a closet, and have it on drawer sliders so the couch can still become a bed if needed. I do not need a full couch that often
