How to remove generator from RV?

If I need to remove the generator from my RV, what's the best way to do that? Mine unbolts from the front and hinges down. So I assume I'd have to undo the hinge bolts at the back also and lower it.

I have a hydraulic jack, but I don't know how you'd balance the thing on the jack pedestal. I suppose a pallet jack would be ideal, but I don't have one.

What do you all recommend?

try a U tube, it ain,t hard just heavy . and out of balance.

Hi Midnightsadie, are you referring to "YouTube" or is a U tube a piece of equipment?

Thanks,

Fork lift is how you need to do it. That is if you plan to reinstal a working generator again.
