I'm refurbishing my 75 Palm Beach to get rid of the gold colored entry closet door and monitor panel, and recover it with a different laminate. The coach also has a piece of laminate covering the corner by the fridge. Does anyone have any suggestions on how these pieces are attached to the underlying refrigerator module? I cannot find any fasteners, and don't want to remove the fridge if It's not necessary to get to the back side (inside) of the module.

Thanks for any advice from those that have tackled this project before me. My wife wants the gold color gone, so obviously this is a priority task!

George,

To get the fridge out, take the doors off. You'll find two
plastic plugs on each side. Dig them out and you'll find the
screws
inside there. Pulling the perforated cover off down at the
bottom will let you disconnect the wiring. Then you can TRY to
remove the refer. It was a very tight fit when new and the
insulation has probably swelled a little with age. Good lock!
On the other hand, painting all that paneling a nice light gray
color will improve the appearance and be quicker. LOL
