    On mine (Double Door) they removed window and hoisted fridge with forklift up to height and slid in. That’s all I got. Good Luck.

    Two healthy young lads on a truck’s hydraulic tailgate passed my 23 cubic foot Jenn-Air through a side window to two of us waiting inside. ‘Worked easier for us than removing a windshield.

    I think the key is going to be the model coach and how the various windows are installed. My side windows are glued in place so the windshield is my only option because it has the rip cord in the rubber gasket. On my XL coaches either front or side windows would work.

    If your replacement refrigerator is counter-depth, you should not have to go through the windshield on an H3 if you do not want to, but the refrigerator door(s), and freezer drawer(s) if present, would have to be removed – standard practice. In our case the co-pilot chair was removed for other reasons (but it is not mandatory), and it made things even easier.

    things like thin luan sheet are not expensive and can save torn fabric or scratches..Wrap exposed surface of new appliance in old bedspread duct taped to it–protect both… Just some ideas..

    Like Kenneth said it will go thru the door on an H with the doors removed… our side windows are glued only the windshields are easily removed if you go that route… easier thru the doorway !

    This is a repeat, but you get the idea. You need young men for this job and an old guy in charge, not a scratch.
