Adding a door just increases a place for water or cold/hot air to get into the trailer. The door has little insulation value and is another hole into the interior from now on.

I may do that down the road, but for the time being I'm going the door route. I'm keeping the door size small enough to only impact the panel that's already damaged.

Looks like just the one panel was damaged and is low down which is good. The trailer mfg should have that panel.

I've used this place several times in my mobilehome/rv repair business. http://www.macsaluminum.com/.

You should be glad it wasn't a gel coat or other non metallic bonded assy. Now its just a simple skin replacement

Does anyone have a good source of supply for small cargo doors? I have not been able to find much of anything through a web search. Thanks in advance!

Found what I needed on E Bay

Go to the manufacturer of your TT. That way it will match.

Nice! But as noted earlier this is such an easy fix. Just start at bottom

I did something similar. Stuck the end of my WD bar into front of trailer. Only tore aluminum siding and slightly compressed insulation. Dealer wanted thousands for taking front end apart and replacing metal. I called my Son in Law, he brought some bondo he had sitting in his garage and filled the tear. Can of spray paint to match white siding and I am good to go, for less than $5.00. I can hardly find where the boo boo was now.

When I bought my new RV it had a small bay door that goes no where!
You open it up and it's just the wall of the RV.

Flatten it out, seal it, and put a fake vent over the area.

Reminds me of the time I was backing the TT into the spot next to my house and then realized a close by tree branch did some damage to the TT siding. That tree didn't last very long after that.....

When will they invent 3D holographic projectors that will show us what the TT will look like all opened up? ;)
