So I know the smaller cabinets are held in with bolts, what about the bigger cabinets like the hanging locker, or the woodwork around the fridge.

This coach sat unused in the Washington humidity for 12 years and some of the wood is swollen, some of it is starting to peel up at the edges.

I can get Teak Plywood all day long for free for the smaller stuff, and at cost for the larger panels.

Am considering completely redoing the woodwork in the coach. Not to hip on the particleboard.

Should be screws in the upper frame of overhead cabinets attaching it to the ceiling. And, screws holding the back of the cabinet to the wall. Look for them, may be hiding behind plugs. My Avion had "clutch" screws holding it in place. I do not know about other models.

Good Dave, we can do some horse trading for the Range Hood out of your parts coach. Not certain yet if we will reinstall a range, or just keep the Combo Microwave/Broiler/Toaster Oven..... but it would be nice to have an original hood just in case.

What are you looking for as far as the Teak Plywood is concerned?

Yeah I figured those out on my own, I am talking about the BIG cabinets, not the overhead cabinets.

Jared,

I'm remaking all new modules because of particle board dry rot, using Birch plywood.

The refer module is fastened on the floor toward the back and on the shower side just inside the front edge (remove fridge to get to them).
The closet module is bolted at the belt line (remove access panel to get to city water inlet), and to the floor on kitchen side and rear side under closet front floor. This for the kitchen side closet model.The top is held by the front and rear overhead modules.
The shower module panels has screws that fastened the panels to a wood frame glassed to the shower, remove the door moldings,and screws under rear panel.

Let me know if you need more info.
