Door question on Dutchmen Classic

[HoustonTexan]

New member here. I have been reading a lot. Thanks for so much information in one place. I have a 98 360 Classic with a slide out. This trailer has a sliding glass door. Was this factory? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum, Texan.

Try here and see if you can find you model, there's a couple of different brochures for Classic models.

I can't say that it was Dutchmen, but I have seen trailers the had sliding doors. But they were marketed as "Destination" models. They were meant for long term setup on a lot or RV park, they were awefully heavy for towing. They were the forerunners of the Park Model.

6 years newer, but does suggest it's possible.

Great. The title has 36F on it and the side of the trailer has Classic 360. I found a few pictures with sliding doors. I will be removing mine to repair water damage. I believe I will buy a whole unit from Home Depot that is much more energy efficent.

Hi HoustonTexan,
I just posted a link to a 98 Classic 360 with the sliding glass door but the mod has to approve it (really mod?...)
You will most likely need to buy a custom size door for replacement. Ask for a mobile home size and pay attention to the jamb depth, it will be different than a standard
4 - 9/16" residential jamb.

Thank you!

I saw a older one today leaving a camp ground in Le Grande, OR this AM. I never seen the doors like that. I sure gave it a look over when walking the dog and looked to be original.

It has to do with keeping spam down. After a certain number of posts they won't be moderated anymore. For some reason the number 10 sticks in my mind.

Thanks Aaron for the reply. I have never been moderated so I was not sure.

Everybody needs a bit of moderating, at some point in time.

Fortunately, this place requires very little.

Well, I guess I meant online moderation. The wife tries her hand at it everyday.
