On the Mammoth thread, the truck camper entry door width came up. So, what is your door width? Any other thoughts about entry door width?

I can't say I've ever needed mine to be wider. I don't remember the measurement. I have a 2006 Host Rainier Double Slide.

'10 Ford F-450, 6.4, 4.30, 4x4, 14,500 GVWR, '06 Host Rainer 950 DS, Torklift Talon tiedowns, Glow Steps, and Fastguns. Bilstein 4600s, Firestone Bags, Toyo M655 Gs, Curt front hitch, Energy Suspension bump stops.

23 3/4" door opening for our AF996. Fridge (at edge of trim) is 24 1/4". If it ever needed to be removed, there would obviously need to be some dissassembly first.

Whatever mine is, I have to turn sideways to get through... My shoulders wedge on the frame if I try to step in straight. That means it's less than 28", and it's a cheap popup so I'd imagine closer to 20" than 28".

26" is about right on the ones listed by Realtor... the Adventurer model is a smaller opening at the door but same overall camper width as the Laredo.

Sigh... Oh well, so far the narrow door hasn't been an issue. Just hope I don't have to change the refrigerator any time soon. (knock wood)
At least we're accumulating data points.

Are you sure about that? I just measured, 20" opening on my Northstar Adventurer. I was sure I had the same door as the Laredo. Maybe not...

The Host Mammoth has less than a 2' wide door way next to the 8' wide right slide. I don't remember if I measured a 20" or 22" actual opening.
