Hi everyone first time writing in this forum. I have a 2021 Jayco Expanda 17.56-2. I've made a few mods to my caravan
2 x120ah lithium batteries
2 x 180w Solar panels
Anderson Plug for external solar blanket
Pop up power plug in kitchen
And now i want to install a rear Coast to coast door for easier access to rear storage. Just wanted to see if anyone has done this mod and has any advice or pictures

Looks a tidy unit, put a little stone deflector around your anderson plug, just a bit of alloy angle would do the job.....
I like that Pop up plug, very natty, does it seal from getting drowned ??

Your rear door I would be concerned with its position being right next to the awning arm mount and on the edge/end of the wall panel, any body flex is going to allow a fair bit of movement in those spots and the hatch won't give much structural strength and cracks could appear in your wall which is only a thin ply sandwich with styro filling, there may be extra blocking at the awning mount but don't count on it.... Don't mean to doom and gloom it as its a good idea for sure......
