yes, i couldn't tale the old cover panel. if your fridge is as old as mine it should just be a couple of screws,take the frame apart and slide the old panel out. i was surprised to see that new panels cost as much as $80, I think the counter-top laminate is stronger and looks better than the official stuff i saw on-line for sale. when you get yours changed be sure to post a photo.i would like to see how it turns out

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
That has got to be the best place to install a standard window AC unit in a bus. If my interior configuration was different I would do it myself. One thing I don't understand about your installation is how the thing is supported. I see that you have it screwed in on the face inside the bus, but I would think you would need some kind of "L" bracket on the outside to hold the weight of the overhang? I'm thinking that there must be a lot of torque from the bouncing combined with the overhang of the rear end beyond the rear wheels. Maybe I'm over-thinking/over-engineering, but I thought I'd put that out there for you to consider.

you are right. it is the most logical place for this type of ac. what you cant see in the pics is that a couple of inches of the ac protrude into the living space and that the perforated angle iron is screwed to both the skin of the AC and the skin of the bus. the heaviest components of the ac are in the wall over the support. i am also concerned about movement when driving so pretty soon I'm going to construct some metal supports and attach them the outside of the ac and the roof edge of the bus to further stabilize it. this thing fits so tight in its hole I'm not sure ill ever pull it out in the future. perhaps if the ac dies ill just pound it out with a sledge hammer

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
here are a couple pictures of the Ac install from different angles so you can see how much is overhanging out the back
