The pictures you are looking at is a medicine cabinet custom made for the bathroom with an additional towel rack attached. Installed it on the wall between slide and fixed wall. Also had a remote controlled ceiling fan installed in bedroom. While talking to others with Entegra's at LD many owners are having mods done to fit their lifestyle. Post them

Road Armor suspension for those long dirt county roads back to places where I can get a great Nat Forest campsite because no one wants to drive 22 miles on dirt to get there.

A door on the island like area by the door behind the sink so I can get to ALL that space that you can't get to the way it was built. Got the idea from a two year earlier version of the same travel trailer that DID have the door. WTF? AND found 11 inch hardware pulls identical to the ones that were OEM but shorter. They make great pulls AND towel holders for kitchen and bathroom.

Doors openings under the bed so I don't have to lift it to put stuff in there... Next is under the dinette seats.

Currently on the east coast until November then headed to California so can travel to have the work done.

I’ll second the recommendation for RV Wood Design. You could call and make an appointment on your way west. They do excellent work. Personally, I would work with almost anyone else before I used Lazy Days. I had several friends who have had their coaches seriously damaged while at one of their facilities. YMMV Congratulations on your new coach. Wishing you many happy miles of safe traveling.

Last week I spoke with a Wood Design rep at the Entegra Homecoming. I was very impressed with the photos of their work. They can do just about anything you desire and match any finish. Their past customers seem very satisfied. They were quoting their first open slot in mid-September, and perhaps it is later by now.

I can personally strongly recommend Custom Coach in Ormond Beach, FL who did extensive customizing on my coach. Great folks who do great work and can also do just about anything you desire and match any finish.

If all you are looking for is a door, there are many on line companies that can make one for you. Here is one https://www.cabinetdoors.com/

I removed the oven in mine (DW never used it) and replaced it with an under counter ice maker which we use all the time. This is similar to what I installed. https://www.lowes.com/pd/EdgeStar-15...eel/5005373289

On the Aspire in your model year the dishwasher was not standard and that space had a pull out drawer. It's a deep cabinet so that made access to the contents much easier. Here are some photos from my 2013 you can use for reference:

I agree regarding avoidance of Lazydays, the other two shops mentioned have many happy customers.

If you want to go the DIY route, the woodwork on Entegra's is outsourced to Chace Industries in Indiana, I wouldn't be surprised if the other shops mentioned source their material from them. They can supply matching doors, face frame material and other items prefinished to match your existing finish.

However, while it can be done, they are very reluctant to deal with the end user directly, so the easiest thing to do is order the doors thru Entegra parts. It will take a few weeks plus there may be an additional set up charge if the finish is no longer in production. I have done this many times for assorted projects. Email me if you have any questions.

PS What finish do you have? I might still have the doors and pullout in Tuscan Glazed Maple finish - I removed them on my 2013 to install a dishwasher.
