This hatch is going to make the laundry hamper real convenient and putting groceries and stocking the camper will be easy through here too.
I'll replace the small vent with a bigger smoked glass window that will take up the upper half of the hatch.

My couch is not rv it's lazy boy. I'm going to trim about 6in off the rear that is quite unnecessary up agsinst a wall and really free up those precious inches.

It's rough but I've taken 1 pretty big step forward and I can move back on board.

Next project is stretch the frame after the axle to take this hitch / box / platform and move it back far enough so the entire platform extends beyond the back wall of the coach. I'll cut all the channel away and insert factory pete frame rails and a cross member or 2.
U won't be able to break it.

I have decided to turn these hatches 90 degree and use these bunk hatches and jams for my bay doors downstairs. They r perfect dimensions and will make huge strong bay doors. I'll need 6, 2 for the driver's side 3 for the pass side. I'm also going to take one hatch and stretch it taller to use it as an entrance door for the camper. I know where the first 2 candidates r located in a bone yard in Gary Indiana. I'll have to reskin them cause of the existing vents. If I decide to have them extend with the slides they r under I'll have them hindged at the top. If they stay put when the slides come out I'll hindge them down.
When I reskin smooth aluminum siding I'll probably introduce aluminum channel when the frame is exposed so I can use rivits for fastners. Exterior will be aluminum with rivits with aluminum radius corners at the rear.

Looking good Joe. Thanks for the pics. The interior is actually very charming!
My cozy little coop Dave. I am going to steampunk the lighting and a few other little things.
Google image steampunk lighting. It's great man cave stuff.
