    Howdy all, I drive a KW T680 and I am looking for information related to taking apart the bottom cabinet on the passenger side in the sleeper. What I am trying to accomplish is the removal of the middle shelf so that I can put my mini-fridge in there. I know the mini-fridge won't entirely fit in there, that's not what I am gunning for, but it will give me back half the floor space it is taking up by my being able to utilize half that cabinet.

    Anyone have some guides or insight as to how I can get this done? Optimally I would need to be able to reassemble whatever I disassemble with ease. I was able to get the front frame off and the screws off the middle shelf I am trying to remove but the shelf appears to have been built into the sidewalls of the cabinet so I need to know how to remove it without breaking it.

    Thanks,
    -SJ

    if I recall correctly a cooler the size of a 40 quart coleman fits in the cabinet behind the drivers seat just above the drawer. at least mine did.

    If you meant the passengers side, I've got a microwave in that compartment. A 2.7 cubic foot mini fridge will fit in the bottom cabinet very snugly if i can get the shelf in the middle out. That is what I am trying to accomplish.

    The way they are made now makes it a major pain with all the plastic

    Trade in the KW for a Pete, skip the cooler...

    "YOU" will be cooler. Style points are more important than a bologna sandwich ;)
