EASY ACCESS DOORS

I found after taking the screws out of the paneling down in the storage area a few times, to get at the Winterizing hose/Water pump or to the bypass valve to the water heater, the screws were coming loose and falling out.
I decided to put some access doors to those two area's so I didn't have to keep taking the paneling off. here is what it looks like.



Didn't take long after I had the panels out anyway, and a couple of dollars for the hinges and barrel bolts. did the same on the other side for the hot water tank.

Wow is your basement clean. I wish our winterizer was in the basement since we will never use it. It is in the living room, ugh!
Happy trails.............................

Excellent idea! I think I will "borrow" that idea for mine.

See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!

Very similar to what we are doing in our kitchen. We are adding hinges and handles to the access panels. I just got frustrated removing the panel to get into the water filter so many times. So I thought using it like a door would be easier. After doing the panel behind the water heater, we were looking at the panel under the sink area and figured we would do it too. In my 3670 the winterization stuff is in there.
