It's heavy and bulky, get a helper or build a table.

If removing from the coach, it needs to be passed through one of the windows. Place a heavy blanket over the window's sill to protect the window, it also will allow the window to slide easily over the sill.
This is definitely a two person project.

It is actually not as difficult as it appears that it would be. It is bulky and heavy, and it is at least a two-person job to lift it out through the window. The stand at the same height as the refer is smart, and will save your back. Also remove the refer doors. The Dometic has about 6 screws holding it in place from the front, and maybe 4 in the rear (IIRC). Look carefully for the screws at the top front. Two may be hidden behind aluminum tape behind the eyebrow control panel. Disconnect the gas line, un-plug the 110V, and the two wires to the module and you should be able to slide it out from inside. It will be pretty dirty in the refer space, of course, and beware bugs and other critters. Oh, you may need to disconnect the drain hose at the back of the refer. LD tends to route them down through the shelf on which the refer sits, as opposed to routing it out through the exterior wall panel. They gob up pretty thoroughly that hole the hose passes through.
Thanks all.
Removed by self. Will need help out the window methinks.

Good job! Curious what you did re: the drain hose run?
The compartment looks like it has been wet for a long time, is that rot, in the corners, under the exterior access door?
The paneling around the access door looks like it has been wet too.
Once the damage has been repaired and sealed, it would be a good time to add insulation to the walls.
