I'm looking for a door that looks like this, black with no windows. Does anybody know where I can get one. Ebay has a white one with a window but that's not what I'm looking for. It's to go on the rear of the trailer.

That door may be home made or cut shorter from a full size rv door

I thought about that but I would think that the latch wouldn't be centered in the frame then. If you had to take it apart and replace the panel to move the latch might be getting into to much work. Ebay has a 43'X43" in white with a window. So my guess would be they bought them that way. I hope I can find some.

Checkout Challengerdoor.com I think they have something like that. I am buying my next set of doors from them. By the looks of them, they *seem* to be the supplier for some of the others that sell doors, but that are much cheaper.

my contact thus far has been [email protected] Jason, is his first name.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the powder coat cost?
