Shelby,
On my 1985 Sovereign I had a Dometic frig that started acting up on me. So I made sure that the one I was about to purchase was able to fit in the same hole. While taking the old one out I found that it was held in place by screws going through the floor of the tambour cabinet above. They went into the top of the frig on the perimeter edge. I also had two screws hidden by a molding at the base of the frig interior of the trailer. Then two more screws in the base of the frig exterior of the trailer. Don't forget to turn your gas off prior to disconnecting the gas line. Also have some electrical tape handy when you disconnect the wiring. As you disconnect a wire, tape it up on the end to make sure that the hot leads don't short against the chassis or another wire. The manufacture may have caulked the frig in also. Amazing how that stuff can hold. Stanley knife to take care of that. Once I had the frig moving out of its hole in the wall, I placed a piece of carpet on my linoleum face down and used it to slide the old frig out and get the new close. Make sure you seal all surfaces around the edge of the new frig once you've got it installed. You do this to insure that gas can't get into the living area in the case of a leak. Fred
