Replacing storage bay doors on an older TT?
I bought my first camper back in August--a 1978 Skyline Nomad 24' travel trailer. On my first trip, I opened up the rear storage bay door, and it almost came off in my hand--the wood on the door itse...

Some good ideas posted, however bay doors are not universal or "one size fits all".
Size and shape is often rather custom to the brand, model and years that your trailer floor plan was built.
This makes finding and buying NOS (New Old Stock) or used pretty much a useless heart breaking trail of tears.
You have two options.
1- Have a new custom doors made to your dimensions (extremely and insanely expensive)Allrite is just one of a couple places which will do this..
2- Remove door, tear out any damaged wood and replace with new (not easy but still do able for anyone that is handy with a few basic power tools like a jig saw and power screw driver or cordless drill.
You will need to address any damaged wood framing around the opening, you will need to make sure that the leaks have been fixed then you will need to remove all rotted wood and make new framing. Not hard to do but a bit of work.
