1. take down the inside baffle

2. make sure AC power is disconnected from trailer

3. open the airconditioner power box and disconnect AC leads

4. disconnect the thermstat leads, 3 or 4 smaller wires

5. undo the holdown bolts--the airconditioner is now free (if memory serves)

6. Now you have to get on top--don't press down on skin or you'll oil can it and put in a crease

7. drill out the rivets around the equator of the cover and take the top off

8. undo the bottom shroud piece from the metal flange that runs around the perimeter and is attached to the shell--remove

9. now you have to pick up the airconditioner. it's probably too heavy for one person unless you dissassemble it in place, eg, cut the copper and take off the compressor separately.

10. remove the remainder.

after you tackle it, please note any steps I missed and document them here. Thanks.
