So uh... anyone know how to get a 25 inch fridge out of a 21 inch door?

DOH!!!
Monte Smith (Fullmonte) figured it out, I think. I seem to recall he found the way.

If I recall correctly he did the job while the camper was NOT mounter on his truck. I think he finally cut a hole in the floor, dropped the fridge out, shoved the new one in, and then repaired the hole. When the camper is mounted on the truck it makes the floor solid. Wait for Monte to tell you the details.

taking the door of the fridge off make it narrower the other way?
you could pop the door and frame out of the camper and swap the fridge, should gain a couple inches

There was no refrigerant so I removed the door and will be removing all of the coils and stuff and should go through that way with an inch to spare.

My dad made me a mount on the bottom of the camper that goes through my bed's existing 5th wheel holes so I can't go through the floor.

What an adventure haha

Today got the camper off the truck, swapped the remaining wheels. Now have to bleed the power steering with it running.

Also have to check the grease in the new parts. Now that the truck has moved 10 feet.

New tank didn't want to go in, but used old fashioned foul language and it went in eventually haha. It was raining last night and had a headache and I was so grouchy!

Not sure what nimh is but since I don't know what it is I'll go with no. National institute of mental health? Probably should be a patient there. [emoji15]

Stupid fridge out!!! That kind of concludes the demolition work. Now it's time to make it pretty!

Camper back on the truck. The jacks it came with are so wobbly. Even with 2 trans jacks (dead men) I don't like how it sways.

Still have to do my fluids. Cant find anyone who can do the alignment on this pig. Might have to travel a bit.

Things are moving slow but sure.

My grandfather built a set of angle iron saw horses that his slide in sat on. They are really scary up in the air on the jacks no doubt. Glad you got your fridge out. Here's hoping you don't have to cut the new one in two to put it in. LOL
We put an electric fridge in his too. It just had an ice box in it. Was from the 50's of 60's though.
