Johan, baie interessant. Regtig netjies.
2 deure per kant is netjies; sy negatiewe kant is dat jy groter items met meer moeite laai.

Het jy al hierdie canopies gesien? http://www.ledfly.co.za/index.php?optio ... 6&Itemid=6" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Baie dankie Heinrich. Ek het nie daaraan gedink nie. Ek dink wel ek sal een van die kante hou met 2 deure. Wil dit inrig mek 1: Kombuis. 2: Kleurekas.

Another suggestion is that you could also make the back door swing rather than tilt. That way you can attach items in the inside of the door as well. I don't know what others will think though.
Just because it says "4WD" doesn't make it an off-road vehicle.

Agree,
It would also take up less space when open, save money on expensive shocks,
depending on strength even fit something on the outside.

As jy n kombuis gaan inbou. sou ek een van die deure se skarniere aan die onderkant van die deur pas, sodat dit van bo na onder oopmaak. Dit gee jou n werkoppervlakte en jy kan jou gasstofie daarop mount. Jy sal dan net die deur moet "support" met iets soos nylon tou, om te keer dat dit teen die laaibak beland.
