Hello all,

Does anyone have experience in removing and re-installing the entrance door and door frame. I have to replace a damaged door frame and replace it with a door and frame from a donor coach. I don't want to cause any damage to the replacement frame and am looking for some tips to avoid the same.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Being that it is all Aluminum, go see a truck repair shop as they have
experience.
Also contact Jim Bounds of Coop.

Bob D. Widened the door frames on 2 coaches. He knows the construction
details of those door frames quite well.

And Here is a Second vote for you to contact Bob Dunahugh. He does read this, but irregularly he does read email.

I've learned it is easier to take the whole frame and door off a donor coach, But I have found another 1977 23' Birchaven with 8,000 original mile and have been spending all my available time upgrading the same to be my dream coach.
