[VAC] Re: Some thoughts on doors
Reply to: RE: [VAC] Some thoughts on doors
Three generally accepted reasons:
1) On models right aft of the break between the flat side and rounded
end, if the door swung forward it would have no place to latch and would
protrude out quite a ways at the top and bottom from the side of the
trailer.
2) On models with windows forward of the door, it would block those
windows (duh!)
3) For buyers that took the screened awning option, if forward swinging
it would kit the screened wall. For later models with Zip-Dees, it
would hit the arm.
And I'm sure there were others. Evidently you could get it optionally
to swing aft. Just look at the archives - you'll come across a few here
and there.
