Re: [A/S] Re: AS entry door



Hi Folks,
My 65' has a suicide door but it also has a large  handle on the trailer that
you grab as you step up the steps to enter the coach.    Terry Tyler gave me
an excellent simple solution.  It is a piece of wood 1"x1"x6" with a small
notch in it ( to positively secure it behind the grab handle).  The wood
slides in behind the handle  where it is bowed for your hand to grab, then
you slide it down to where the handle secures to the trailer, basically it
wedges itself.  Similar concept to the 2x4 latching the ole barn door.  One
edge is on the coach and the other end is lapped over the front of the
door.   I made mine out of soft pine in 10 minutes and it works like a
charm.   I have no fears of the door opening in transit and it is easily
removable.
