Benroy Galley Hatch Idea

Postby SaGR » Tue Jun 05, 2007 12:39 pm

Has anyone done a roll top door? Like the old roll top desks? Not exactly watertight but it'd be a show stopper :)

I was thinking of making it look like a roll top but obviously not functional.

Thoughts?

I have seen waterproof roll top tonneau covers for pickups so it might work, I would miss the shade and rain protection from the lift up hatch though. Aaron

Ack, good point! :oops: Didn't think of that.

I did see where someone here made their inside headboard cabinet with roll up doors.

My old Airstream trailer has all the upper cabinets in the roll top type. They look pretty good but they break easy if your not carefull.
