kitchen countertop removal
Time for a new top and sink. Any thoughts on removal of the existing countertop? Will it come out with damage to the drawer fronts and cabinet walls? Is it simply screwed in from below?

This^^, but my experience says the counter from manufacturers is usually cheaper particle board verses the better MDF. Either way removal is the same. I installed counters for years and some got glued down but most were just screwed down, but after the laminate had been pre-applied. I wouldn't be surprised though if an RV top was Glued and Screwed.
Edit: if glued, a crowbar or wrecking bar can pry up the countertop from the cabinet but be sure to pry overtop of the vertical frame pieces and not on the cross bars that go over drawers or cabinet openings. They could be popped out of alignment. Best would also be to do this from inside the cabinet as to not ruin the outer finish.
Good luck.
I will go 3X to this as, unlike a house they have the complete counter top pre-made and screwed in from the underside.
