Another user also made a pull-out drawer that you can access from the inside. I think this is a great idea. That way you split the compartment in two, but we found that if we keep items we don't use that often in the harder to reach side it's not a big deal. I'm going to try to put a drawer in ours this month. I started taking some measurements this morning (about 34"x13.5" will be the size of the drawer face) and the first thing I want to find is a roller system for the drawer so the kids can handle such a big drawer.

Very nice wood working! I don't has the time to make a door but I found some on EBay for less then $100. Are there studs in the wall or is it just the inner and outer skins laminated to the foam?

Very nice work. As an old woodworker, I may have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing.

Marwayne, Very impressive work. Are the frames out of wood?

No I didn't use the cut out, I put one on each side. The frames and doors are home made, 800$ for 2 little hatches to much to my liking.

We had our dealer do that. They ordered a door from Forest River, cut the hole, and installed the door. It works great! It was $400 installed.

Did you reuse the cut out as the door or did it come that way? Where did you get the parts? I am thinking about adding a front driver side hatch on my 178?
