2 things:
1/It's easier to see the small light in the corner of the fridge using a paper towell center cardboard tube. It isolates the small amount of light from the light flooding in with the door open.

2/The first time I removed the fridge it took me about 40 minutes. When you get used to it it might take 20 or less.

Remove the screws on the vent outside the van. Then remove the screws holding the 2 tubes/hoses to the side of the van from that outside location.
Remove the fridge door by opening it and lifting it up. Remove the screws on the wood facia piece and remove that piece. Remove the screws inside the cabinets both right and left of the fridge .... they screw through those walls into the fridge sides. I think at this point you can start pulling/scooting the fridge out. When you get it about 1/2 way out, you'll need to tip the bottom front up so those tubes/hoses can clear the area behind and above the back of the fridge. Not likely you're going to have to do a lot of herky/jerky with it but there isn't anything you're going to damage so you don't have to use kid gloves doing this.

Oh, it's plugged into the 110 V plug so remember to reach up behind the silverware drawer (or just remove that) to unplug that.

I think that's it?
