Are they attached together?
Lift the top one up, pull the bottom one out, then pull top one out?

How do you get them out of the coach? They look too wide to come out of the door, although I haven't measured. We've got a washer dryer combo in ours but can't believe for a second that we'll ever use it. Would prefer to have the cupboard space and less weight!

We never used ours for washing, but always for drying towels and swim suits after swimming.
If you don't see any screws/plugs/filled nail holes on the exterior on the valance, have a look to see if the valance is mechanically attached through a bracket or board from behind. This is often the case.
If no, it is likely pin nailed and using a thin sash pry bar, you will usually see movement. Once off, you'll need a method of reattaching it by one of the above means.
It also looks like you'll have to remove the louvered doors and possibly the side rails as they meet the valance at the top.

When we purchased our MH we traded the washer n dryer for satellite dish. I know the tech disconnected the entry front door hardware which allowed the door to swing out of the way.

Can't you just adjust the feet lower on the Dryer and pull it out?

Personally I can't even imagine being on the road for long stretches of time WITHOUT my combo washer/drier. You don't need to take near as many clothes and, once you're 'in for the night", you can throw in a load of clothes and they'll usually be done by bedtime. My brother & his wife had theirs removed for more storage room, but after our last 7 week trip and them having to spend time at the laundry, she realized they would have had more than enough storage by not taking near as many clothes and doing laundry in their mh at night. I wouldn't ever want to be without mine.

I wouldn't trade our washer and dryer for anything. Although we full time we alway ran a load of laundry when camping. Nice to get home and not have a huge pile if laundry to do.

Washer dryer removal Berkshire
You have to unscrew the top dryer from the washer. Once they are disconnects the separated units will come out and yes....they do fit thru the door. Barely, but they do fit

One of the reasons we moved up from our '08 bunkhouse was because my wife wanted the washer/dryer combo (as well as the larger residential refrigerator). Really makes things easier when you can just put a load of wash and let it do its thing instead of having to make several trips back and forth to the campground laundromat.
