trying to remove refrigerator to replace the damaged floor.
it's a 2006 fleetwood pioneer, but it has a domestic hotpoint fridge.
it seems to have an unreachable aluminum bracket screwed to the back and then to the wall.
the fridge sits atop the furnace an is butted up against the ceiling
 
Hi, Gary,
The model #
Hotpoint? 15.6 Cu. Ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator
HTR16ABSRWW
We just bought the camper thinking it needed the front bedroom floor and walls replaced from water damage.
As we tore into it, it is a lot worse than I could have imagined.
ending up having to strip it all the way and replace ALL the flooring.
Stuck on how to remove this fridge.
in the upper right corner on back is an aluminum Z bracket.
screwed to the wall at the ceiling, and then screwed to the back of the fridge.
It's totally unreachable, and I can not figure out how it was even installed.

 
Gary, that's a residential ("domestic" as he called it) refrigerator.

Ziggie, is it accessible from the outside of the RV?
 
Thank you Ned and Gary.
It turns out it was a trick question.
Apparently there is no way to access the brackets to remove the fridge.
The only thing I can guess is that these brackets were installed at the factory before the roof was dropped on.
Looks like I ended up with a wiped out FEMA trailer.
We ended up yanking the cabinets from both sides and then chiseling the brackets off.
By the way all of my questions before this one were answered by searching this forum.
It's been a huge help, so thank you all.
 
A FEMA trailer would explain why you have a residential refrigerator.  Those trailers were never intended to be moved once put in place.
 
We bought it for our son to live on our property so he can save money for his wedding, so not that disappointed that it can't be a camper. Just turning out to be a lot more work than I anticipated.
For camping, we love our pop up and wouldn't trade it for anything.
