Replacement door

[lewis]

Wouldn't you know it after I fixed the door on my 1985 F 1859 camper, we had a bad storm down here. A tree limb got it. Now I'm in search of a door Exterior only screen is fine. 2 questions. Where is the best place to find a replacement door? @nd. Reckon I might could find one off of used or wrecked Sunline
1985?

24x68 on amazon, or 24x72 find your size and search, new ones are available.

Your 85 camper I'm assuming has the square top corner doors. The newer ones have curved top corners.

New doors are available, just get prepared for sticker shock. Not sure of your size, but they start in the $500 and up range and then there is freight. For sure, search around for best place to buy from and the price is in line.

Finding a door off a wrecked Sunline of your vintage, may be hard. And then it may need to be rebuilt as the older ones, the wood rotted out on them, but they are rebuildable. How bad off is yours? Pending what it wrong with it, may be able to be rebuilt if you have common wood working tools and some time. Do you have any pics of it? or what is left?

Here are some of the new door places.

Lippert (LCI) also makes doors. You may have to call them as not everything they offer is on their web store. Here is a place to start with LCI https://store.lci1.com/

I had them make me a new replacement cargo door 2 years ago, the cost was not that bad and they made it up in two weeks after I ordered it. But, I had to call them and ge to the correct division that handles the doors and the aftermarket sales.

Hope this helps

I have a 1979 13' Sunline. The door was shot and warped so I made a new one out of 2x2's. Took the metal to a local shop that makes aluminum sheds and they stamped out exact duplicates for the two sides.

Hi Ricky,

Is this door to replace an existing door, or are you cutting a hole in the camper and mounting it?

They make cargo/baggage storage area doors in different styles, I'm assuming that is what you are looking for with that size. Some are radius corner or square corner doors. The radius are more common, but the older square corner may be available. And thenm there is which way the hinge goes.

Reason for asking is, trying to help give you some options to how to find something.

In Feb, 2019 I had Lippert Components make me a cargo/baggage door for a camper I was working on. I needed an exact replacement to fit the hole in the camper. See here, the old one on the right, new one on the left.



Mounted in the camper,


It cost me $164 with tax and shipping. It took them about 2 1/2 weeks to build it once the order was submitted. You have to give them a lot of info, they turn it into a quote, you give them and order, and they make it for you. See here, they do not list all the doors they make, but if you call them they can make most doors.

I have also bought a new cargo door off of Ebay, here I had a range of size I could accommodate, I made the hole in the camper fit the door I could find. That new door was approx. $45. A seller was offering them, they must of had overstock etc. While new and never installed, they had been stored somewhere a good while. Go to Ebay, and type in "RV baggage door" and see what they have. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...+door&_sacat=0

There are also surplus places with cargo doors. It is hit or miss at these places what they may have, most are new, at surplus prices. $20 can but a good sizes door, just color, size and the way it hinges is, you buy what they have. If this is an option, try these 2 places. They most likely will ship it too. Call and tell them the size you want, about the hinge, square or radius corner, color and they may hunt for it. And request a pic etc.

Johnson's Surplus. https://www.johnsonssurplus.com/service/

There is no real good way to show all their inventory as it changes so much, call them and ask.

I is only about a 4 hour drive for me, so I load up on stuff when I come back. You may be able to get a cargo door for $10, the freight might be more then the door, but still cheaper then a custom new door.

Hope this helps
