3931FB Owner's

Found a great fix for that dumb 1/2 bathroom door. You can put a fixed hinge pass thru door in its place. Montana will sell you the door, pre hung in the door jam. Order you color. It fits right in the opening. Had it up in 20 minutes.

Can you post a picture? Don't understand exactly what "fixed hinge pass thru door" describes.
Does it open to the inside? See my sketch below with questions.

Our 2020 3931FB Legacy from the factory has a traditional hinged door that opens outward into the hallway. The hinges are on the forward side of the door, the side next to the stairs.
No pivot door.

Haven't done it to my coach yet. We were at the dealership today and they have a 3931FB on the lot with a fixed door. I asked about getting that put in for me and thats when the service man told me that they (Montana) sell's a door replacement "kit" for that door.

The other question is that open out into the hallway in front of the step's. Will be calling Montana in the morning to order that door kit.

Yep...Here is the floor plan for 2020 model showing the hinged door.
This appears to be opposite of what EMCS Retired described (hinge located by the stairs)

Question: does the hinged door prevent access to the bathroom during transit? If so - we will continue treating our pivot door like a porcelain princess. We use the bathroom a lot while traveling. That would be a deal killer!

Hmm? maybe by the time it got from paper to the factory floor they swapped the hinge. Our's definitely is easy to access while on the road, way easier than our 2014 375FLF.
But then, our faucet is on the right side of the sink and others are on the left.

It hang's on the stair side. You block off the bedroom. and you can get into it when you stop with out opening up the slide's
