skamper 065s rv entry door replacement

[kf6cmp]

I own A skamper 065s. I have taken it off-Roading quite a bit in Baja over the years, the entrance door has taken a beating. Now I need to replace it. But I'm having a bit of a hard time finding a manufacturer that has that size door. Has anyone done this before? If so please let me know how you solve this problem.

Maybe call this guy ...

He has TONS of new & used parts.

We just sold him about 30 old doors we are no longer using.

I have been working with these guys on a new door for my rig. While they dont show the door on thier site, they used to build doors for Phoenix, and have quoted a direct replacement for mine:

Emmett Door Inc. Emmett, OR.... they build one for me, quite reasonable and well built. I'll have pictures in a week or so... being installed as we speak.

Its pretty darn easy to rebuild a camper door.

Thanks for the info, all. My door is wrecked so bad and the frame is cracked on the jamb that rebuilding is pretty extensive. I will give the suggested people a try.

My door is likewise beyond farther repair. Please follow up with whom you decide to use, and pricing information if you would please! I have this coming in my near future and I would find the information valuable. Thank you.

We , wife and I have done a bit of research. rv doctor George was helpful but he didn't have a door that fit our camper. He was very friendly and helpful and returned calls immediately. we here in san diego have a man that can build a door but charges 110 an hour and it would be min. of 5 to 6 hours. That would be around 6 to 7 hundred min. We tried the metal company and they are a middle man. They don't build doors for campers. We called Emmitt doors inc. They build doors and they are who we are going with. I have not put in an order yet so I cant give you an outcome but they make what we want. The price is around 400 and looks to be a good door with frame and screen door. When I get and install, I will follow through with the out come of my complete experience. Thanks again for all the input.

Here is a picture of the Emmitt door, complete with screen door and lock with a deadbolt.

Nice! Looks like what I'm looking for.

Hey, Docdave, are the corners welded?

 

[docdave]

Yes the whole unit is welded, and it's nice and square too. Latches well and seems well made.
