Pivot Door to Hinge Door

[Route 66 Rambler]

I know many have converted the pivot door to a regular hinge door. I ran a search and found a few threads, but I seem to recall several years ago there was a detailed thread with several photos of the process. Can anyone provide a detailed guide for this door project? We have finally decided we would prefer our pivot bathroom door to open inward instead of taking up space in the hall. Thanks!

Have you verified that the door leaf/panel (dimension A) will fit and swing inward clearing the toilet? If you use (say) a piano hing on the jamb and the door - will the door swing 90* against the sink so you can get in and out of the room?

Someone should be able to describe the removal of the door leaf off of the pivot hardware.

Pivot Hinge Bath Door

I was reading the 2016 Montana brochure on Keystones website, it's a very nice brochure. One of the things it lists for 2016 is a "Clever space saving pivot hinged bath door". I looked at a few 2016 Montana's before we ordered our 3000RE and I didn't see any that had this type of door. Does...

Yes it will. The toilet in our 331RL is on the outside wall. If the door swings inward it will go against the linen closet. We plan to put a magnetic catch on that.

You screen shot was from a Montana High Country 377FL (Middle bath, front living room, rear bedroom .... back door on the opposite side ... and loft above the back bedroom. Steps show behind the toilet going up to the loft and steps shown in the hall way for the outside door on the opposite - back side of the camper... by the way ... that's a fantastic model!)
