How fortuitous that I found your video. I just received a similarly sized door that I plan to install when we get back to our home in WA after spending 3 months in AZ for the winter.
Thanks for posting! I would suggest you replace the drywall screws you used to retain wood frame with deck screws of same size. Drywall screws are quite brittle - prone to snap off when exposed to shear forces they may encounter when you are on the road. Also would be good to reinforce bottom where aluminum frame was partially cut out to maintain frame strength. I liked the hanger pin trick a lot! Regards, KG
On UK caravans when a hatch is fitted the panel you cut out becomes the centre of the hatch door, so keeping any graphics or stripes intact. Did a good job here and you may have inspired me to have a go at fitting one myself.
Great video! I especially liked the music and high speed editing. That added a professional touch. I would have applied a sealant/glue to both sides of the frame to provide greater strength. Sometimes " too much is just enough. ". You may want to put the carpeting back in. It provides a small bit of insulation, and makes it easier to slide the crates in. For caulking, you may wish to use Dap Dynaflex instead of Dicor. Go watch the videos by the guy at RVRoofinstall. He really hates Dicor, and I believe him because he has fixed RVs for years. Nice touch on fastening the sides first. I don't think I would have thought of that, so hopefully I learned something.!
Good job , but better to pre drill from inside first then you know where your obstructions are, then apply template based on that . Cheers from Australia
I’ve seen this done on a flat wall Rv but never on a slide out. Pardon my French but you got some 🏀 🏀!!!! 🤣 I’ve been wanting to do the same to my Rv but haven’t had the chance and need a little more self confidence before I start. Appreciate the video and the suggestions. Awesome clean job. Im curious as to how much that door cost you? ✌🏽
Well done sir. Installed better and with more attention than the monkeys that assemble at the factory. I read that a 33 foot Jayco takes only 18 hours to assemble start to finish. Your door ain't going no where......

Well done! Great video and the end result looks great - will be trying this soon so will definitely re-reference your method! Thanks, Allen!

The door was probably about $20 or $30 from Bontrager’s RV Surplus store in Michigan. You can find them online.
Thanks for the video!!!!!
Profesional job !!!
Glad you liked it!
Great! Thanks for sharing...

Nice!
You miss referenced your right side measurement. You cut through the aluminum bottom frame.
EXCELLENT!

Intresting that some of the music comes from the Catholic Church.....
Why is the door upside down, the hinge should be at the bottom and out of the way when open. The mistake I see everywhere.
The door is not upside down, it’s installed as designed. In the video he said he had to still install the door catch that holds the door open.
Don't use this as an instructional video.So many screw ups and wasted time.
Still waiting for your video on how to do it correctly. It has been working just great for me all of these years.
