Dometic RM 8501 Handle Removal

What a mess, sorry. You might want to call FR back and ask to talk to a tech, just to confirm they were wrong about switching the doors if nothing else. At the very least that might save someone else the same aggravation you're dealing with. 

When I spoke to Margarita Pedigo as FR she told me all the ones that came in last week (6) were left hand models but told me they could be switched.  Well I changed the light, wires, and catch + drilled holes for all that to go on the left hand side, also had to remove the rear aluminum cooling coil to make that happen.  Then switched the bottom and top hinge over to the right side.   All that remained was the door hook and handle.  By removing the front panel it was easy to remove and switch the hook and finally got the handle off, but therein now lies my sticking point.  Worst case scenario, I can most likely switch the door off my old one and put it on here but may wish to change out the gasket molding around the door as mine may be getting a bit tired after 10 years.  By looking at the new door am not sure how easy it would be to take off the gasket.
