Doors and Trim

Postby fbaly » Mon Jun 28, 2010 11:11 pm

I have only found one place where I can buy pre made doors.
This would be littleguy trailers.
Anyone have more info on where I could find better deals or more choices?

Second question

Does anyone know where I find how people are attaching molding..

Are people using rivots..

Pictures would help big time.

thanks

Oops need more info. What type of siding are you using? If you get in SD Tripper's index in the menu above you might find some doors. Pre-made is expensive but saves a lot of time and trimming is easier...

I am about to make my second door soooooooooo. :(

I bought a surplus RV door to fit the hole shown below for $45 at Bontragers Surplus in constantine MI. Not sure where you're at, but this place is a godsend for me. Lots of stuff in one place, and generally very cheap. Came complete with trim, seals, and lock.

They have RV doors galore. A few small ones like the one I got, quite a few big ones.

I hope this helps,

CampInn trailers will make/sell you doors.

Cheers,
