Removing the Dinette Cabinet

I needed to remove the dinette cabinet so that I could get behind the ceiling headliner. I found that it's easy to remove it, but harder to put it back up. Here's how to do it on a 2018 Revel.

After removing the inside of the cabinet ('floor' of the cabinet is a separate piece, and the back & 'ceiling' of the cabinet are a single folded piece) with regular screws, you're faced with 8 screw locations that are holding the cabinet to the ceiling and wall.  An overview photo is the following:


The 2 screws that attach to the shower wall are here.



The three screws that attach to a metal bracket above the headliner ceiling are here.



Three screws attach to the driver's side wall here.


Here's where the wall screws attach through the cabinet (one of three screws shown).



Reattaching the cabinet is a good job for two people - - it's a bit tricky to lift the cabinet, get the holes lined up, and tighten it all by yourself. Make sure that you're on good terms with your helper, because you'll be swearing a fair bit.
