Bdosborn,
That's not a problem with my TTT. The RV door I'm getting has a vertical sliding window in it, and it hinges on the right side, so it opens away from my other side window to the rear.
MJ,
That must be the slider I was looking at in the Redneck catalog. They have three heights, 12", 15" and 18". The larger two are 15" x 24" and 18" x 42". The larger of the two looks better on my TTT drawing and that's what I will check prices on when I call them today. I thought 28" might be a little narrow for a door, but my neighbor has their pop-up open, so I measured it. It's only 22 1/2" wide. So, I am going with the 24" wide door. That will give me 4 more inches of wall space for door molding and my galley counter width.
Arnereil,
I'll probably install one of those storm door restraints (light chain and a spring on it) to keep the door from opening all the way, just to keep it from banging into the front of the trailer and messing up the paint. Either that or a stop unit that holds the door open.
SteveH,
If I use vertical sliders (because they're cheap), I'll get those that are wider than high because they'll look better. They'll be large enough that I can see out the top while sitting on the couch, and the bottom will be just above my head while laying in the bed. I've always wanted to get into RC flying, but that's always been pushed aside for something else. There are literally hundreds of lakes in my county, four within 2 or 3 minutes of my house, so I've made full size plans for a Pondmaster with twin electric motors to build when I finally get the chance to try it. I did go to the 2004 Top Gun event held here in Lakeland. That was awesome.
