Need your thoughts on who has the best storage compartment doors and where to find them. Any help would be appreciated.

i like the positive locking bear-claw latches...i will use the big ones for the side entry door and the mini ones for the compartment doors
E-Trailer
nice H-D hinges
Trailer Parts

Thanks spooner
I appreciate the help. If I can't find some good ones, than I probably will build my own. Thanks again.

Geofkaye, I'm located in Southern California close to San Bernardino. It's tough out here on the West Coast with no builders close by. As I get further along with the building of my coach I'm going to depend alot on this forum for help. Steve

Thanks for the help. I'll contact him for sure. Where's he located? One of the things I'm really having trouble deciding on is which style of slide mech. to go with. I plan on having 3 slides. Thanks again. Steve
