australia ~ any members here?

[frosty]

Hi everyone.

Was just wondering if we have any members from Australia, as I am chasing some local build knowledge.
Main query is for doors - lockable, split doors.
On searching, I come up with one place that is/was asking $750 EACH
Surely there has to be something better available when the same things in the States cost around $175 to 250 each.
Freight / postage can't be that much !!

any ideas???

cheers

How did you go with the doors?

I'm in Wollongong.

I found a Brisbane supplier, still dear but not $750

And the freight was cheap from Brisbane to the gong.

You need to speak to Reiner at Aussie Teardrop Campers.

PS where are you situated?

Yep another Aussie I'm in Newcastle. When building mine I also thought the doors that were available were way too expensive so I made my own which was not too difficult. I used 15mm ply for the walls and a quarter inch bit in my router for the cut out and then the cut out itself became the doors and the quarter inch gap was perfect for clearance. I then made wiley windows for each door along with fly screens and all the hinges, locks etc I bought from Ovesco. I was going to upload some pics but the files are too big so I will have to figure out how to resize them and I will then post some.

Another Aussie. I also baulked at the ridiculous price of doors so made my own.
