Storage Compartment door install

I have a small StarCraft AR-ONE 18QB and it does not have pass thru storage. I would like to add another storage door. Is this something I should take to the dealer to have done?

Thanks in advance!

  • I have changed to a larger storage door and added doors. The main thing that you will need to do is provide framing around the perimeter of the new door as you will have to secure the frame to something solid. If you can locate some of the studs, you can possibly use them as part of the structure to secure to. Adding framing is tricky, if you my have to cut out a stud that is in the way. Which means that you will have to trim it back inside the wall so that a new cross piece of framing can be added.

    I added one on our Rockwood. I got the door for $10 (new) on Ebay. The dealer wanted over $300 for a door (just the part)!! It was pretty easy and my installation was much stronger than the factory doors.

    The answer to your question totally depends on your skills.

    If you do home improvement and repairs yourself and have a decent selection of tools, no problem.
