Thanks Aunti M, Yes both hatches open. I did it that way because my old hatch was too heavy!

I still needed to access the cupboards below my lower counter so I had to make a small hatch on the bottom . I only drop the bottom 1 when I have to access my pots & pans. Most of the time it will be closed , while the top hatch will remain open. I will have some pics added soon, I did not think to take a pic with it open today. I did not shorten the trailer as I originally thought I would. I did redo the hinge area & make the transition from top to hatch a little softer . Also it seals better now at the hinge .

I will be changing my taillights this winter too. I have 2 flush mount oval taillights that will be mounted in the lower hatch. I can't tell you how many times I have cracked my shins on the ones I have now!!

They stick out from the trailer about 6 inches & when I walk around the corner ..WACKO !!!

Boy that hurts!
Anyone else ???? Go ahead , I can take it.
