If you’re an RV enthusiast, you know that the little details can make a huge difference in your overall experience. From convenience to security, upgrading your RV’s front door can have a significant impact.
We found a video from the channel “Venturesome Couple” that dives deep into five amazing RV front door upgrades.
1. Upgrade Your Door Lock
One of the first upgrades tackled in the video is replacing the old, unreliable door lock with a Bow NE Bluetooth lock. According to the video, “The keypad is faded, and it’s already falling apart. It’s really hard to see the keys.” The new lock not only offers better security but also comes with a Bluetooth feature for added convenience. Plus, it’s a family-owned American company, which is always a win-win.
“The biggest thing is that they’re keyed the same, and we don’t have those little ugly purple keys,” says the video.
Finally, no more feeling like you’re trying to break into Fort Knox every time you come back from a hike!
2. Single Key System
The video highlights the convenience of having a single key for all doors, including the bay doors. “We want one key for the whole flinging trailer,” they mention. This upgrade is a game-changer for anyone tired of fumbling through a massive keychain to find the right key.
“Nice thing about the B locks: one key, whole trailer,” they add.
Imagine the joy of not having to play ‘Which Key Is It?’ every time you need to get into a storage compartment!
3. Ceramic Coating
Another notable upgrade is applying a ceramic coating to the door, which makes it easier to clean and maintain. “You know why that’s so easy to clean? ’Cause it’s ceramic coated,” they joke. This upgrade not only enhances the look of your RV but also adds a layer of protection against the elements.
“It’s definitely important to test fit it,” they advise while installing the coating.
Now you can finally say goodbye to those stubborn dirt stains that make your RV look like it’s been through a mud wrestling match!
4. Screen Door Handle
The video also shows how to install a screen door handle, making it easier to open and close the door. “It just makes it a little easier to get in and out,” they explain. This simple yet effective upgrade is perfect for anyone who’s ever struggled with a flimsy screen door.
“So now it’s a push bar, but when you want to get in and out, you just smack it and the door opens,” they demonstrate.
No more awkwardly wrestling with the screen door like it’s a stubborn toddler refusing to go to bed!
5. Screen Door Slammer
Finally, they install a screen door slammer, also known as a screenshot, to ensure the door closes properly every time. “It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do,” they confirm. This upgrade is particularly useful for pet owners who want to keep their furry friends safe inside the RV.
“So the door will slam itself,” they note.
It’s like having a tiny, invisible butler ensuring your door is always closed properly—how fancy!
