Unfortunately, we traded the toyhauler in on a Class A MH. We bought an 8.5 foot curtain rod with a center support into the back wall. The rod stretched all the way across the garage. Curtains had rings built into them and simply slid over the curtain rod.
We built them from scratch. We were told that doors weren't available and couldn't be installed. They were wrong. We traded it in on a Class A a few months ago. It sold QUICKLY. 😆
Hello, thank you for the nice video. I know it has been a while since you posted. How has it held up for the last year. I have a grand design 5th wheel toy hauler and was looking at ideas to add doors to mine. Do you have a list of your materials purchased for the garage doors? If not, can you let me know the style/model and where you got the door from. It will be a DIY for me and just trying to find good materials. thanks again for posting!
Thank you for your interest. The doors are holding up perfectly and we honestly couldn't ask for better results. I don't have a list of material, but I can provide a pretty close inventory just off the top of my head. We used 6-8 foot pieces of 2x2 square tubing (two across the top and 4 vertical pieces to build the frame. As you can't get the frame past the door and turn it into place, we placed a smaller steel sleeve to act as a slide. That allowed us to slide the frame inside the perimeter of the door and then slide it out (like a trombone) to fit it to size. I also used a 2x4 piece 8 feet long for the center door frame. The doors themselves are simply Lawson 36" storm doors purchased at Lowes. You can go with less expensive doors, but we have Yorkies who like to be able to look out. 🙂 Across the bottom of the frame, we utilized a 2" piece of flat stock. This creates a type of threshold at the bottom of the frame holding the entire unit together and providing strength and stability to the frame. We used plexiglass sheeting on the outsides, but to be honest, if I built another one, I would simply use tin sheeting and paint it black like the top piece. You can't really see out those little windows and they want to crack from the expansion and shrinking of the frame. I put Styrofoam in between the interior sheeting and exterior sheeting for more insulation against the elements. The top piece is another piece of tin sheeting to close the gap between the frame and RV. The lock is just a tumbler from RV lock to hold the center piece in place while giving an option to remove it and load motorcycles, golf carts and kayaks. It's a VERY simple build. I know at least one individual who did something similar with a wood frame rather than steel.
Holy shit that is incredible. I’m looking to do something similar. This is over the top. Well done love it.
Amazing job!
Thank you. I've since sold this unit for a Class A. BIG mistake! Someone got a GREAT toyhauler.
Debbie show me how you hung the curtains plzzz

Where did you get these doors at? I’ve been looking all over and can not find them
