Maybe you fabricate a piece of metal shield that you mount to prevent problems, easy on easyoff

Porter, I had a Hallmark camper a couple summers ago, that had the heater vent out the back. The door didn’t swing in front of it, but I inadvertently set a wood step ladder next to the vent. I was inside when I smelled smoke, then quickly realized what the cause was. Moral of the story is it doesn’t take long for hot exhaust from a furnace to cause a problem. I’d strongly encourage making the change proactively.

Flipped the door. I will be more relaxed knowing that the door cannot be left open.

I now know which butyl tape is worse to scrap off, old crusty butyl or new gooey butyl. Brand new tape is worse to remove.

A hair dryer goes a long ways installing the trim. I did not figure that out until after my fingers were super sore.

Curious how you flipped the door. Did you just turn it upside down so the hinges were on the other side? I made a mistake on my door flipping it,  then realized the sliding window would allow water to run inside. The upper window should be to the outside of the lower window. You are making great progress on the project!

I flipped the whole door frame. Luckily for me, I put the window in upside down the first time, so my mistake worked out in my favor this time.

Front turned out pretty good. Not finished quite yet.

Coolest Part. It barely fits.

MX hauler works as a pretty good step.
