Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

I think I would forgo the doors and put one or two rods accross above the shelves at varying heights.

My next step was to try using a spline joint at the corners.







After the glue dries tomorrow, I'll see how that seems to hold together. Perhaps that will work much better.







I can go a little deeper with the spline, but I figured I'd try one that is nearly 1/2 way through the one member, and used a piece of 1/4" plywood as the spline.

We'll see how that holds up tomorrow.

Well, the wife told me to take the weekend off since it was New Years, so I figured perhaps I should.

Back at it today, and another idea shot to ... smithereenes....

I started to try to assemble the first frame for one of the doors in the bath area, and just blew it up.







Just in case you thought that it may have been way too thin ....







Yup, just a 1/16" shy of 3/4", or 11/16" if you prefer. So, that didn't work out well. On one of them, I even drilled out a hole for the screw in the secondary member, and it still split.

A single door that's about 12" wide and over 6 feet tall, is just not going to work well. So, I decided to split them up into 3 doors, each about 2 feet tall.

That will be easier to manage.

After spending too much time on options, I settled on a frame and panel design, something like below. This just shows the frame without the panel inside.

That means I'll be working on that tomorrow.

I like to use folding louver doors and make them operate separate for such occasions. I have used decorative doors to accomplish what you are working on.

After a little thought, folding doors in a moving rv, doesn't sound like the best idea. Maybe I am missing something.

Separate the folding doors and make them into two regular hinged doors. I installed seven shelves in a 6'8" opening such as you are working with, and it holds a massive number of items and storage.

I hadn't thought of splitting them in the middle. Hmmmmmm.....

Happy New Year to everyone.

Paster Charlie, thats expensive! Bathroom tissue is cheaper than THAT!

Going to have to agree with that. Plenty of toilet paper can be bought for way less than $20.

You are building a one-of-a-kind custom RV and going to cheap out on toilet paper? For shame, for shame, for shame.

Toilet paper was not available with the one- or two-hole toilets back in the day.

In addition to expense, there are 2 additional issues, (no pun intended). Oh, I guess that would be magazines, not catalogs. Lol.

First is, the saint I am married to, deserves more comfort than a catalog will provide.

Second, I use water and not paper for keeping things clean.

How about a one hole'r with a bidet?

Yeah!
