Re: [A/S] AS entry door

Jim - My 64 Tradewind has a keyless dead bolt and a regular lock 
set.   Makes it real convenient.  It really is amazing who many variations 
of each kind you will find on Airstreams.

My frig was dead when I purchased the trailer and I replaced it with an all 
electric unit.  To remove the frig you need to get to the four bolts in the 
bottom of the frig that are bolted through the floor.  You have to remove 
the surrounding cabinet.

Start by removing the cabinet side with the book case.  It's riveted or 
screwed into the top and sides.  Make sure you disconnect and plug the gas 
line under the front of the frig.

Once that is off, you will find that it is riveted to the side wall.  Drill 
those out of the frig.  It took me forever to find the anchors in the right 
front.  Open the closet door, and feel the molding from floor to the height 
of the frig.  You should find some holes.  These are deep and contain slot 
head screws that are screwed through the wall into the frig wall.

There should be four bolts through the frig frame into the floor.  There is 
a vent screen in the floor that you can remove.  It's stapled in.  You'll 
need to do that to get a wrench on the bolt heads.  Barring that you could 
drop the belly pan under the frig or cut the nut off the bolts.  This 
should do it.

Good luck
