Norm, my Hayes manual doesn't cover the camper section of a Westy.  You will
need a Bently.  It is not difficult but you have two choices: remove the
whole kitchen cabinet and then take out the fridge, or remove the fridge
alone.  IMHO removing the cabinet is easier.  Warning: if you plan to remove
the cabinet, first look in the compartment under the driver seat for a sheet
metal screw that goes through the sheet metal and into the cabinet.  If
there is one, remove it first.

While you have the fridge out, stand it upside down for 48 hours to get the
ammonia mixed up in the system again.
