That's interesting - the idea of using a tambour (roller desk) door over the galley has been discussed here several times. I wonder what the details are like - I've looked on Cross Country Caravans web site but they don't show any more photos than Barrie has posted.

Andrew,

Maybe I can help. The roller doors are manufactured locally by Armadillo. Hope it sheds (some) light on your questions.

They use a very similar roll up door on fire apparatus, I'll ask my riding buddy if these can be used on a radius like that, He works for KME building fire trucks and such.. And I'll ask if He knows how much $$ for here in the states..

As far as the original design with the soft sides, I wonder if you could incorporate some Jeep soft doors into the design? That way you get the flexibility you want, keeps it light weight, but still allows for easier access and could easily be removed for cleaning, loading, etc..

Just my $.02.. :thinking:
