HAMPPLIES RV Access Door vs Teardrop Trailer Entry Door 28x38
These are not substitutes. The HAMPPLIES is a small white ABS hatch for covering an electrical or utility opening on an RV exterior; the teardrop door is a full walk-in entry door with tempered glass and a lock. Buy the HAMPPLIES to replace or add a small access panel; buy the teardrop door when the camper's main entry door is damaged or missing. Build quality differs by purpose: ABS is light and UV-fade prone, while the aluminum alloy door with spray-coated finish is far sturdier. Owners of small ABS hatches report they work fine but can yellow and the latch is the weak point; aluminum entry doors hold up better but need a correctly sized rough opening.
- Choose the HAMPPLIES if you need a small white utility or electrical access hatch and your opening matches its roughly 8.5 by 8 inch footprint.
- Choose the teardrop door if you are replacing a right-side camper entry door and your wall is 18-20 mm thick with a 28 by 38 inch opening.
