Ramp door replace with a larger door

Hopefully someone with model specific information can help.

I know that in general there is a steel frame around that door, on many it's the only vertical piece of steel on the while trailer (I saw one burn once, all that was left sticking up was that frame).

So modification might involve rebuilding the entire wall to expand that metal opening.

Good luck with the hunt!

I have already anticipated the re-framing of the wall. If I go this route and if anyone know of an RV body shop or fabricator please let me know.

I'm having a tough time picturing what you want to be honest. But keep in mind resale value. Personally I'd look for another unit that fits the bill better rather then a massive and probably expensive add on.

Not quite the same floor plan, but here is one with french doors going to a full-width ramp. It moves the bedroom into the garage, but the huge kitchen or the living room could both be used as office instead.

Carringb - what make an model is this so I can lookup more information? It looks very interesting.

Y-Guy - the back ramp for most toy haulers have a ramp that is the full width of the rv approximately 7' x 7' which is what I would like as we use this as a deck. For the garage area I need an office but would also want this as usable area when I am not working. If you look at the floor plan for the Montana Raptor 3602RL this is pretty much what I am looking for except the ramp door is only 4' wide. I have talked to Keystone and the support rep said the larger door can be installed and the corners have the support just the door frame would need to move and order parts such as a new ramp door, door supports and hinges.

I have talked to one RV body shop and they have elected to pass even though the manufacture mentioned is could be accomplished. Of course I do not have any type of estimate on the cost for the modification of the Raptor and I am still open to other suggestions anyone may have. Basically an with a ramp, generally seen as a toy hauler, that has a slide in what is known as the garage area. I say garage as most manufactures call it that but I would like this to be livable space that is comfortable and I can use as an office. I prefer a 5th wheel but I am open depending on the floor plan.

The only KZ 37K I found was a sportster which shows a full size ramp door. Not sure of the model you say you have.

Yes that is what I currently have. As I mentioned I build a fold down desk that is flush to the wall just looking to find one that has a slide in the office area for more room.

Sorry. I should have included that with the pic! It's an XLR Thunderbolt 385 AMP.
