... Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 I have a small compartment with a broken door. It looks easy enough to replace if I can find a match. The overall size (outside to outside) is about 7.5" x 12.5". I've attached photos. I've not yet found one online, but I'm probably looking for the wrong search term. Does anyone have a clue to lend? The hinge in the frame is broken, so I expect I'll need the entire frame and door as a unit.
socaltoolguy Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 You may have to replace the entire compartment frame and door as an assembly. What type/brand is your rig? A lot of this stuff is still available from the manufacturer. Our mh is an 01 and we can still buy a ton of stuff from Fleetwood. Ray 2001 Fleetwood Southwind 32V 2011 Scion XB toad

rdickinson Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 Found this, it seems they will make a complete door and frame to your requirements.

... Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Posted May 14, 2015 Update: Based on Roger's research, I did a little decoding of the part numbers and found it on Amazon for $44 w/ free shipping. It's the exact item Pellandent lists for $78 + $20 shipping. http://www.amazon.com/JR-Products-ZE102-A-Multi-Purpose-Access/dp/B007HRTSBG Just in case someone else stumbles on this same problem later.
rdickinson Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 Either way it is a win, win situation. The problem was solved.
