I'd like to add a storage compartment door on the front left of my trailer. Has anyone done this? Does anyone know where I can get a door frame to match what Forest River used? Thanks, JIM ------------- JIM |

a couple people have, at least one made his own door and frame. You can contact FR for a new door and frame I believe..

Which R-Pod? I know on the 179, some of the plumbing takes up space in that area, so you'd have to figure out a way to move it. ------------- Alan 2022 R-Pod 196 "RaptoRPod" 2022 Ram 1500 Lone Star 4x4 Three cats |

I made my own, because narrow doors that I needed are not around. https://postimages.org/">  https://postimages.org/">  ------------- If you want something done right, do it yourself. 2011 RP172, 2016 Tundra 5.7 Litre, Ltd. |

Wow! That is a really nice door. It looks much better made than ones available from the trailer supermarkets. Where did you get your materials? How did you come up with such a nice door frame? Did you make it or repurpose one that was used for something else? ------------- Never leave footprints behind. Fred & Maria Kearney Sonoma 167RB Our Pod 172 2019 Ford F-150 4x4 2.7 EcoBoost |

That too. But those cold winters in Edmonton leave lots of time to improve on the German ingenuity. 😎 ------------- Never leave footprints behind. Fred & Maria Kearney Sonoma 167RB Our Pod 172 2019 Ford F-150 4x4 2.7 EcoBoost |

My stepfather was a tool-and-die maker, among other material skills. I think he may have been able to do that quality of work. I commend you on your skills. ------------- Life is good. |

Well thanks but I'm not going to make my own doors :-}. Nice job. Just looking for a supplier of doors that match what is on the trailer now. I'll see if I can contact FR, see if they will co-operate. Thanks!, JIM ------------- JIM |
