2013 3725RL Switch Panel Door

On the 2013, there is no door covering the switch panel. It is too easy to accidentally throw a switch, especially grandkids. On the 2014 model, Keystone added a door; however, they installed the door, IMHO, backwards. The door latch faces the bedroom vs. the kitchen. At my Keystone dealer, I ordered the door in installed in my way. Feel a whole lot better having this panel protected.

Joe, please resize your pics, can't see anything at one view, have to pan, scroll, beat on monitor, etc.

Looks like a great mod, but once again the picture is so big I need all my extra large screen to view half of it.

While I like the door, I'm more interested in the hand rail. Where did you get it, and how did you fasten it?

That is one of the things that has bugged me over the years, not having those switches behind a door. Nice mod.

I saw two of those door assemblies at my dealer yesterday. They had just been delivered by Keystone. The dealer has four new cream colored Montanas on the lot with the switches behind the door. I didn't ask why they had replacement doors. I was thinking of adding it to my rig but the switches are out of the way on a 3700/3800.

The hand rail appears to be the same as what was used on the 3700/3800 alongside the steps to the laundry area/bedroom. It was mounted on the end of a re-enforced wall. They used to be orderable as I got one.

I ordered the door and glass from Coach Light RV in Carthage, MO, 417-358-7444. Their Part #'s on my receipt: 381136, Trim Switch Frame and 381541 Glass 7-3/8 x 14- 7/8. Came with the hinge already assembled. Had to add the ten screws to attached it to the panel. The handrail came with the RV and yes, I do believe it is the same one in the 3700. At least it appears to be.

Could I trouble someone to send me a picture of the hand rail? DW has made a request that I install one, and you know how that goes! Thanks in advance!

I've been thinking about this for few days now, and I think I'd rather have the door have a transparent panel so I could see things, like which switches were on.
