Hello All, greetings from Niagara, Ontario.

My question is with regard to using the rear access for installing larger pieces of furniture that might not otherwise fit in through the side door.

Is this recommended, has anyone used this approach and how difficult (assuming it's a viable option) will it be to remove and re-install?

Look forward to hearing your feedback, thank-you for your input.

Regards,
Mike

Not many people do it. Here is a case where someone replaced the screws on one:

Wiring has to be dealt with.

I think you are better off taking out a big side window, or finding stuff that fits through door.

Thanks for your input fellows, I wasn't able to find much during a search so wasn't certain if it was out of the norm to use this approach.

If anyone else has suggestions I'll be happy to hear from you.

Thanks again,
Regards,
Mike

As long as the original screws are removable.
Then remove the glass if need be to avoid breakage.
Some of the coachman have sealent used, while the GM ones did not.
