Easily Modify Your RV Cabinets

Can you tell which cabinet door did not come with this motorhome? If the owner didn’t tell me I wouldn’t have a clue that it was an addition. The cabinet door in the middle of the photo was added. They ordered this door from a cabinet shop. They simply took in one of their other doors, gave the shop their measurements of the cabinet opening and they were able to fabricate a door that looked just like the others. In order to make the hole in the cabinet where the door would be placed you first draw an outline on the wood where you want to cut out the opening. Next you drill a hole in each corner large enough to insert your scroll saw blade. Then you simply cut out the opening being careful not to cut into the bottom (the floor) of the cabinet frame. Installing the door is a simple matter of lining it up where you want it and screwing in the hinges. I recommend that you drill small holes before you put in the screws to avoid cracking the wood frame. Before, they had to get on a chair in order to reach way back in the corner to access their stuff. Now they simply open the door and get what they need.
