I wish you were closer to me (SC). I have just a glass door and frame that I am planning to take to the recycling center. I had to purchase a new whole set because of a problem with my core door. I think the mobile home philosophy is "nothing the same, everything is disposable - not replaceable...

Did not find this in my search, so here goes. I recently replaced the door on my trailer with a new one. Everything fit nicely and it seals when shut.

Because of constant chance of rain over the last 2 weeks, we s...

The floor in the kitchen and laundry room is raised about 6 inches. The trailer had a sour smell which we have narrowed down to the laundry room (mostly). This is...
