easy peasy Bruce :)


even with my slow pace, I can get the sink/fridge unit out in 30 min.
The entire unit with fridge still in it is fairly heavy, I suggest a
helper to avoid scratching things up.

same thing for re-install.

Mind you. there are potential snags... the propane lines can be fussy
and take some time and spatial thinking to remove. Also watch out for
the sink drain line, you might consider cutting the tubing instead of
trying to wiggle it off the nipples while cabinet in van, the old
nipples can be brittle (ouch)

oh, don't forget to remove front table bracket or else the cabinet
wont slide out, its easy to overlook.

I'm looking to remove the cabinet which contains the sink and fridge to
continue on my restoration.  This is an 86 Westy.  Can anyone let me
know
what the expected time for the removal and replacement of this one
cabinet could take for a non professional mechanic?  I have a Bentley to
assist.

Thanks,

Bruce
