a/c unit replacement on 2001 Fiesta Vee 270

bigboater1

I need to replace entire a/c unit on my 2001 Fiesta Vee 270. How do you gain access to the unit? If you take off the access panel in the aft cabin you can’t even see all the unit let alone take it out.

Thanks in advance for help.

I think you need to remove the whole wall panel if it the same as my 04

thanks thanks that is what I was thinking. Not sure how it is attached I see no screws. Just need to tear into it has to come out someway.

There is kind of a sub panel as I recall that gets access to the unit....

Those little button looking things pop off I believe and there are screws behind them.

Yes I know about the buttons and screws but there are none on that wall. I am sure it is attached with something I just have to figure out what. Thank you.

Could it be attached by Velcro? Rinker used some pretty strong Velcro in their builds.
