hi all, i have just received a travel trailer a- 2000 trail-lite 8263-s by r-vison

the problem is it needs a few things and i can't find- searched google and ended up in a rabbit hole
figured fellow rv'ers would definitely know more then me on where to go.

located in Colorado- eastern slope north of denver

i am in desperate need for a bathroom door--- and parts for furnace for now that is all i found ....

thanks all for the help

Might have to make the door yourself or take that project to a local cabinet maker.

On the furnace, what make and model and what parts? For a control board, Dinosaur Electronics is a good bet.

They're out there, but kinda pricey.

I agree with R.Wold, cutting down a lauan door from Lowes or HD would be the way to go.
Easy job for someone with even modest carpentry skills.

I'm thinking a hollow core lauan door would not work so well to cut down as they are, well, hollow.

Perhaps an accordion type door would adapt?

Examples from Lowes:

It's actually pretty easy to cut down a hollow core door. I made several to fit attic access openings in my house. They have a cardboard honey-comb inside for support. All you have to do is cut the door to size, then rip a piece of 2x4 to correct width to fit in the hollow part of the door (it's easy to push over or tear out the cardboard honeycomb for an inch or 2), and just glue the solid piece in place in between the door skins. A little stain or paint, and you can't tell the difference. Put some masking tape over the cut lines to help avoid splintering the lauan.

hollow core door-- i was so over thinking this didn't even think about it... will do

as far as furnace goes i know about dinosaur electronics for the board.. what about the other parts? i am about to get knuckle deep into this furnace blower comes on but no ignition, not even a try

In many cases, you might be better off with a curtain in the place of the bathroom door, certainly an accordion door would be good.

Curtain rail and slides and such can be found from JRProducts.com and Recmar.com.

My motorhome had a pocket door into the bathroom, I really liked that, but hinged swinging doors just get in the way.
