Show me your rear hatch doors

I'm looking for an alternate opening design. I'm thinking about building an oversized Benroy style. But with swing open rear doors . Or a flexible material that will slid up into a overhead pocket. Anyone have anything different from the norm???I'd love to see your pics. Thanks, William

Many miles and many tears. Times were hard but now they're changing.
You should know that I'm not afraid.

I had a truck bed cover once, that rolled up into a box at the front of the bed, kind of like a tambour door on a desk. It slid in a straight track clamped to the truck bed sides. But I would bet you could find or fab a curved track that could be attached to the back of a tear! And it was completely waterproof! Kind of "out there idea" but hey anything is possible! :thinking:

I quite like your idea of rear doors, why not split a benroy rear in half, have a solid bulkhead then have one half go one way and the other half the other way, each side would be its own pod with storage, you could then have a drop down galley counter top.
Oh now thinking about it, as long as it is waterproof it a cool idea, Imay try that on the next one :twisted: :lol: 8)

That's got to be one of the most inventive designs I have seen!

Dhazard, I'm going to copy your design. That is the most clever kitchen/galley I've seen yet. Thanks for sharing.
What are the dimensions of your floor? 9x5?
