Today I was going to install the propane door (tall narrow version) in the same place I installed one on my last camper (2002 FWC Hawk) - on the driver’s side next to the back door. I discovered to my dismay that the framing is different on my Puma.
Hawk framing
Puma framing
Now I am wondering if I can cut away enough of this framing to install my door, without compromising the integrity of the camper. I’ve marked up the picture showing the 3 pieces that need to be cut out. I could add in a section of the thicker vertical (closest to the door) tubing across the top of the opening to reinforce it.
What do you think?
