Westy Unit Removal
I've taken the fridge out to get at the usual rust on the sill but I also need to take out the run of units to get at the inner sill, so has anybody got any tips please? Mine has the full run with the 3 quarter rear seat. I can see a few bolts, but I was just wondering if there was anything I should look out for. Cheers guys.

take your time!
westys come aprt easily so if its stuck then you have probably left something connected!
the kitchen unit comes out as one , then the low unit between kitchen and bed.
mark all the wires as it will seem like thee is loads!

Easy job there is a big bolt on the floor of your cupbord a few screws that gas pipe to the tank so turn off gas lots of wires just put stickers on them to remind you where they go. Job takes about 1 hour and a bit longer to put it back comes out in two bits plus one water tank. Best of luck.

just take your time, its a bit scary first time!
take loads of photos so you know how to put it all back, get some boxes and keep screws separate
if your really unsure get some small bags, bag each screw set and tape it to that part of the furniture
good luck
