This is the reason for one of the mods I commonly make if I have to pull the whole kitchen cabinet. I cut out the back of the cabinet floor hole where the propane lines come through. This allows the full cabinet to be slid out and put back with the propane lines still attached to the tank. Makes it much quicker and easier to pull the cabinet. Another thing I do to that cabinet is cut out some of the hidden shelf below the stove, at the driver's side wall edge. This allows more room for maneuvering the fridge vent tubes when pulling and replacing just the fridge. Westfalia should have done both of these mods in the first place to make servicing the kitchen simpler. Mark Kim Brennan wrote: > Well, pulling the fridge is easy.
