Furrion 20CF removal in 310RL
- Thread starter KCAlis

be sure to lay some thin pieces of wood on the floor. that way the rollers won't leave marks in the linoleum. we had to have our refrigerator replaced in our 32 RLS and I stood there the whole time and told them I want wood on the floor and it did the job. small pieces of a plywood. the thin kind of paneling type will be sufficient they also will be twisting it and maneuvering it to get it on the correct angle to get it by the island and out to the door.

So, we have a new fridge! I DON’T want to have to do that again! Just send me parts, up to and including the refrigerant circuit!
To help the mobile tech, I removed drawers, shelves, doors and door brackets before he arrived. When he got here he advised me to remove the front roller brackets as well.
The stripped fridge was 23D by 68H and the door is 28W by 76H. Slam dunk, right? Wrong! The devil is in the details such as the water connection on the back of the fridge. And the cover and door-side air spring on the stair assist. And the bottom step to the bedroom and the right, lower door on the coffee bar. And to safeguard the interior door framing we removed it as well. We still scuffed the corner of the coffee bar even with moving blanket padding. Sigh!
Getting the new one in was only marginally less stressful given the cleared path and lessons learned but the need to protect its condition as well as the trailer’s was a new concern. “Some (re)assembly required” is an understatement!
The mobile tech got it up and running then hauled the old away. I volunteered to put everything else back in order and am mostly done.
One thing that we noticed was the wire diameter in the new fridge’s factory pigtail. It matches the wire, 8 gauge I think, that Alliance ran to the fridge from the bus bar. The old looked like it might be 12 gauge. Also, the fridge we received has the Gen 2.0 board, not 2.1 as promised by Lippert. Insert something about a gift horse’s mouth here! I hope it lasts more than the year we got out of each of the last two boards.
And it’s definitely not a 2 hr installation job which is Lippert’s warranty rate for this fridge.
