Under-dinette storage modification

Just traded in our first TT for a 2012 Prime Time Lacrosse. Our previous trailer had cabinet door access at the end of the under-dinette storage benches and I wanted to add them myself to our new trailer to make accessing the under-dinette storage easier. Wondering where I can get cabinet doors to match the ones we currently have?

Thanks

Did this mod on a previous hybrid we used to have. Got an unstained door from the kitchen dept at Home Depot. Don't know if they still carry them but a kitchen/bath place might. Stained and varnished the door as close as I could to match.

I ordered a door from here:

Cabinet Doors - High Quality, Free Shipping. Easy online ordering!

It came un-finished. I brought home a stain color sample sheet from Lowes and matched the stain to the finish in my TT. Although not an under-dinette application, here is how it looked when complete.

Also measure your other doors and I'll bet there is one which will have correct dimensions. Then just have your dealer order it. Perfect match and the right size. Did this on my Grey Wolf.

Hoping to complete this same mod soon. I have read on here in past threads of a gal at FR that is helpful with ordering matching doors and hardware directly from FR, but can't seem to find her name or number. Hoping someone can help.

I took the panels out and am running 'nude' also. Figured to use the 'comforter' that came with the camper to make 'curtains' to cover the holes but haven't yet.

What I'd like to do is remodel the dinette from a U shape to more traditional 2 sided one. As the kids grow getting 'behind' the table is getting to be harder for them. Me? I don't fit back there at all. And forget accessing the storage space.

Once you get the doors installed make or have someone make you a drawer that will fit inside the new door the length of you bench. Put the drawer on rollers and you can pull the drawer in and out very easy. Great storage for pots and pans.

remember to put a latch on it or on turns you'll have your drawers sliding about.

contact PT. I know this has been done by a couple others here. i think the 2013's came with those doors and they will send you the complete doors and hardware for around $50 if i remember right.

the thread should be in the Mods section

Its on my to-do list as well.

As a side note i noticed a thread the other day were someone had the dealer install outside access under the dinette on his 318bhs. very cool
