My first inside mod (it isn't much)

It's not much, but I'm starting slow because I don't want a bunch of holes all over the inside of my new TT. And I'm trying to be thoughtful about what I modify (and I think pretty slow).
Anyway, for some reason, Coachmen left a big ol' hole over the refrigerator. So I installed a door that matches the doors over the sofa. To me, it gives a more finished look, helps keep stuff in while traveling, and my bride really likes it (bonus!).

Nice - you have to wonder why FR doesn't spend a bit more and put the door there themselves.

The space above our frig get really hot when running on propane. Used to keep the bread and stuff up there to prevent smashing, (three kids). And it would be all sweaty when we would take it down. P.S. The door looks great and would like to consider it for ours.

Ordered it from the factory. I was going to go to Lowe's or a cabinet shop, but the handle was less than two dollars.
