Hey all,My wife and I do not like the bifold bathroom door on our Lance 981 TC. The bifold feature is a must for getting into the bathroom when the slideout is in, but normal use of the door when the slideout is extended is kind of a pain in the neck.I would like to modify the door to swing open like a regular door when needed, and be a bifold door when needed.Here is a VIDEO LINK explaining more. Maybe you can give me some ideas, or better yet, pictures and instructions!Ben

I can't give you detailed instructions but you could make a door in a door. Just make a swing door and install your bifold door tracks and all inside of it.

I would just leave the original design. Whatever you do wont look as finished as the factory version. I have te same TC , a 2008 and have no issues with the door.

Maybe put a different handle on it. You know what they say.... If mama ain't happy.....
