I have looked for a long time online for an interior door that I can use for the walk through door of my horse trailer. I have not had any luck. I noticed someone mentioned in another post that they purchased an RV door. If someone could please let me know where I can find this I would appreciate it.

I need a door that does not have a window in it that will hold up to the horse area.

Also, looking for the cowboy shower that mounts in the horse trailer. kind of looks like the water supply for your home to go to your washer.

Thanks

I did my own DIY walk through door last month with great sucess ~ here is the info. $395 ~ Universal Trailers (Exiss & Sooner) ~ Ask for David in parts at toll free 877-533-9477.  He's very helpful and informative. I am more than pleased with the outcome! Good Luck!

We have found our cowboy shower on Ebay. We got it for 27.00! Others are alot more on there. Not really sure why.....

We are still looking for a walk through door. So if anybody has any suggestions I would appreicate it.

Also, we are needing suggestions for the water tank and water heater for the cowboy shower. We currently do not have a hay rack on top of our horse trailer.

 I have found my walk through door.....

We are purchasing one from a mobile home supplier. It is a 30x72 inch door with frame - flush mount. It was only $140.00 yippie!!

This is what we were looking for originally and were unable to find it. I managed to run across it today by accident. I was so excited.

So now we have our cowboy shower which was $27 dollars and the door which was $140. So now the next step is getting the water tank, water heater and water pump.

Hopefully it will be ready by Memorial Day weekend. At least the door anyways.

Actually we will be moving the studs since my husband has the ability to weld the studs after they are cut out. We will also be bracing the area with additional metal studs. We have taken all of that into consideration believe me.

It will be alot of work but it sure will be alot nicer to have a walk through door. :)

So now the next thing after we get that installed is to start building the stand for the shower that goes into the horse area for the cowboy shower. It is coming along real good. At least in our mind.

Stay tuned for our dilema

I do know what everyone means by getting hubby to do it. Usually what happens is I will start on it and act like I dont know what I am doing and by then he has to finish it.

What ever works right?

We went out to the trailer last night and looked at the beams. We will have to pull the v-board off the interior wall that we had already put up. But that is not a big problem. It was put on in four pieces so we will only have to take 2 out. That is a relief. No messing with the ones that are up against the cabinets.

I also stopped at Lowes last night and picked up some heavy duty screen. It was only 8.00 for 36" x 84". I am going to take that along with some heavy duty material that I had picked up from wal-mart to make my own window screens for the horse area. I also got that idea off of here.

I will try to take some pictures this weekend so I can show everyone what we have done. We are pretty proud of ourselves since this is the 1st time we have attempted the installing living quarters. The guy at the Sundowner place in Birmingham looked at it and said that we had a really nice package in there. When we told him that we were the ones that done it he was suprized. So that made up feel good.

Well I have kept yall long enough so I will close for now.

Well we started on the door this weekend. As soon as I find out how to get pictures on here this afternoon I will post them.

As far as the stability of the wall and integrity....... The wall actually has a top beam that runs from side to side. We did not mess with that one. We cut out the one that goes from that beam to the floor. We have stabilized it with 2x's.

The camper door is going to work great!! It looks awesome. We are very pleased. Plus it was alot cheaper. We will be putting a camper door lock on it. Which will not be a problem since the door has an area surrounding the current hole that has wood in between the outer walls of the door.

I will get pictures on here as soon as I can.

Will someone please tell me how to post pictures? I have uploaded my pictures onto this websites photo album. Under Kimberly Living quarters. Just dont know how to post them on here.

Wanted to add this address. Maybe it will link to it.

We will be using a camper door lock like what is on the door going into the dressing room. It is recessed into the door on the horse side.

This will require us to cut the hole larger to put it in there. There is enough wood surrounding the door knob spot to allow us to cut this area out without having to worry about the support for the knob.

The knob runs about 30.00 or so. I will put pictures of it once I get it installed
