Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I saw a picture that halfdome had posted of his door props. They looked tike they would work for me. I have Grant's flip out style windows in my doors and to keep from crushing them when open I had limitting straps on my doors. This kept them from opening too far but I didn't have anything to keep them open. These door props do both so I removed my limitting straps. I had to bend, modify the pins.




Now even with the window open full there is clearance between the window and the Teardrop.

Thanks for the good idea, Gerdo.

Gerdo,

From whom did you buy those pins? Looks like what I need also.

Me too, I need a set of those. I haven't even gotten around to making the limit straps, let alone installing them. These pins would be easy, 4 screws, and you're done.

Yep, I'd like them too. Keeps the door from blowing closed as well.

I have some on mine. I got them at
Austin Hardware

I picked mine up at Camping World as did halfdome. I think they were about $5 ea.

Now, if I can only get into a Camping World. I tried 2 times and they were closed. We tried another time and the road was washed out.

great idea and with my windows from Grant too looks like a solution to a future problem...............the door blowing too far.

I'm lucky to have a Camping World close by.

Most any RV dealership with a parts/service department will have the door stops, usually for around the same price as Camping World. Got mine locally but have 'em mounted a little different. Wanted my doors to swing farther open so I just have to make sure the windows aren't open very far

This seems like a great idea but don't these pins create too much stress on the hinge side of the door and cause problems?

They don't seem too bad. I wouldn't intentionaly let my doors fly open into the stops. If a strong wind caught the door while opening, it may cause some stress. Otherwise no.
