four season porch sliding door for toy hauler

Any concerns about using 'residential' glass if that is what you are using?

At the back of the hauler there should be a metal frame around the door, that should provide a fairly "movement free" zone. I would actually encourage the French door idea with a sliding/retractable screen door setup. The slider and all that glass bouncing around would worry me and you have almost the same problems with movement and settling. Also, if it was ever left unlocked during travel, the slider would slam side to side, likely with enough force to break things.

Good luck either way!

The project would add a couple of hundred pounds to the weight of the RV which I am not to concerned about. I do want to paint my Cabinets a light grey with white and grey exotic granite and install a full size gas range and convert it to propane but that project got veto from the wife. So the only project I have been able to do is put laminate flooring in the bedroom and but a back splash behind the oven.

Next project is to make a sliding pantry next to the fridge for the pots and pans and can goods.

I was going to make it go as close to the ramp as possible.

At the moment I do not have any toys we sold our 4 wheelers we are looking at full timing it again in it and I put carpet down in the toy hauler and we use it as the kids toy area/second living room. I just thought it would be cool to always have the porch as a porch and get a lot more sunlight in the back since it is minimum.

i do have a motor cycle which would fit through the sliding door I would just build a ramp to get over the track or if I get 4 wheelers again I would take the doors on the track to put them in.

I was thinking of doing French Doors but that is more costly and I would be concerned with movement and settling that they might not close properly.

Hi Kyle. Welcome to the forum.

This should be an interesting project. I haven't heard of anyone doing this before. How much room do you expect to have between the ramp and the slider?

How wide are your toys? Will you be able to get them through the slider door?
