Re kindleing an old thread, taking units out myself in next couple o weeks, was this the definitive answer on the best way for removal?? Darren

Did mine last year,
Proceed in this order , if I remember correctly.
1) remove hob lid & lift up tops
2) remove strip along back of kithcen to which to tops were fixed
3) remove hob,sink & drainer.
4) remove fridge
5) disconnect both sections of the rear seat - they will stack on top on the rear cushion.

The cabinets come out in 2 parts , the cooker/fridge unit & the narrower storage unit.

Both units are secured to the wall below the windows , look carefully for all the screws.
They are also secured to the floor with corner fixings.
The units are also secured to each other + some screws from the wardrobe through to the end of the narrow unit.

It goes without saying that gas & water pipes + wiring will have to be unthreaded or disconnected .
The cover for the fresh water filler pipe has to be removed
The gas storage cupboard door & surround has to be removed.

6) The cooker/fridge unit came out first - very tight fit , especially getting past the cables running from behind the drivers seat.
7) The narrow cabinet came out easier .
8 ) remove wall board behind cooker/fridge unit
9) remove wall board behind narrow cabinet (had to cut - its trapped behind the wardrobe)
10) cut and peel off floor lino .
11) cut and remove floor boarding - on mine the boards were nailed throug the floor ! I had to cut round the nails and remove them later.

I am sure there are points I will have forgotten , go carefully , if things arn't loose there are usually more fixings to be found.

Hope this helps

If I had to do it again I'd start at the wardrobe end and work my way towards the kitchen unit. Hindsight is a wonderful thing....

Ok will give that a go. So in relation to the heater and electric hook up is it just a question of disconnecting and then re plumning in???

as long as you know what you're doing or know someone else who does, then yes. Disconnect leisure battery and pull all leisure fuses and isolate relays etc. Pretty straightforward. If you need any pictures of certain areas or have specific questions just PM me
