Take a look at the sticker on the current door and see if it was made by Lippert, Dexter, or someone else then try calling them directly. I purchased a 25x17 replacement storage door for my trailer...

I did virtually the same thing as the two previous posters. There is zero issue cutting the roof membrane where you want a hole to be located. As long as you don't cut outside the dimensions of...

I added an additional 12" square section of 3/8" or 1/2" plywood with construction adhesive and 9 or 12 short screws that I knew wouldn't hit the mirror. Then I could use longer screws with more...

I would rate it as better than adequate for our use but that may be dependent on your rig setup. We have a 28BHBE and tow with an F350 crew cab. On our 8500 mile trip last summer I saw the picture...

I don't. I'm pulling a 28BHBE (~33') with an F350 CCSB at interstate speeds, so it's a decently long rig but but several feet shorter and much less structure between the camera and monitor than on...

We purchased (and I'm a fan of) the Furrion Wireless Observation Camera (note: "observation" not the similar appearing "backup" camera). Install involves connecting power/ground and four screws. ...

I went internal with the remote display as well for essentially the same reasons. While wrestling with the heavy gauge wiring (50A) in a relatively tight corner took a little effort. However, that...

Jayco does make both, but not in the same product line. As others have mentioned where fiberglass vs aluminum is an option the fiberglass is still installed over wood framing.

Since they mention watching their dolly and traffic they probably don't want the Backup camera, but rather should consider the Observation camera. They look the same but the observation camera...

I also use the same combination, and agree it makes it trivially easy. However even without the Anderson levelers it would still take the guess work out. Knowing that you're 1.5" shy means you...

Roll-up sink cover/drying rack, ah yep RVS&D confirmed that. Looks a little different than the one's I've seen before. Not sure if it's better but it looks more substantial so it may be.

If it's the latter that may be normal for your particular trailer/brake combination as sometimes they're not...

Could be an actual leak, but it could also just indicate that the check valve isn't holding tight and you have a little bit of back-flow.

There are two drains on mine, though as they're all of 10 inches apart that's not much of a concern either.

One potential upside of a single tanks is that there would be less shifting weight with...
