This is the reason for one of the mods I commonly make if I have to pull
the whole kitchen cabinet. I cut out the back of the cabinet floor hole
where the propane lines come through. This allows the full cabinet to be
slid out and put back with the propane lines still attached to the tank.
Makes it much quicker and easier to pull the cabinet. Another thing I do
to that cabinet is cut out some of the hidden shelf below the stove, at
the driver's side wall edge. This allows more room for maneuvering the
fridge vent tubes when pulling and replacing just the fridge. Westfalia
should have done both of these mods in the first place to make servicing
the kitchen simpler.
