I got one of the replacement 110V hookups from GoWesty. I removed the 4 screws from the old hookup and it was still stuck to the side of the van. Is there something else holding it in place that I need to remove or does it just need to be pulled loose at this point?

It will need to be pulled free. Someone may have silicone it last time, or the foam gasket is just attached too well. Obviously, be careful you don't damage the paint or bend the sheet metal.

20+ years of grime and gunk. Slow and steady pressure should break it free. Start in a corner and pry it with something plastic so as to not scratch the paint.

Thanks. I thought that was probably the case, but I wanted to make sure.
