Right, Slide it out on to a bench or stool that is as close as possible in height as the fridge location. After disconnecting everything slide it out of the compartment and get to work changing out the cooling unit in the coach. It's nice to have a helper so you don't have to keep moving from front to rear of the fridge while doing the change out. If you are doing it by yourself set the bench or stool on a throw rug or old blanket. This way if you are in a spot where you cannot go around the fridge while doing the change out you can just turn the whole thing around easily.
