How to question??????

Firstly, season greetings to all.

I am after the knowledge of those who know. I am looking at installing an access door to get into the seat space under the left hand seat in our 16.49-1 OB. The floor plan is the one with the seat between the front bed and the door. Is there any structural issues if I cut into the wall. Do I need to provide a internal frame or is the wafer designed walls of the Jayco enough to support the wall once I remove a section. I have looked at others and they appear to be just the frame with the removed section as teh filler in the new door/flap.

Cheers

Rick

Thanks Bigman,

And yes, cutting the van is like having your teeth pulled. All good at the end, just need to get the needle to dull the pain first.

I assume that the wall design is support enough without any new subframe required?

Cheers

yeah mate, as far as I know its foam and PLY with the F/Glass on the outside. no movement or leaks or complaints. All my friend call it the Tardis, as things keep on going in like magic.
