I was trying to suggest that if you want to be able to use it as an entrance/exit door….

Your genny and propane tanks – if all mounted on back  … will define the space that you have available to put in a door.

Does your tank require a cage of any kind?

WHAT kind and size of genny?

say 2.5 ft for genny

1.75 ft of tank / cage

7 ft of bumper width

 

You should be able to squeeze a 34 – 36 inch door

But not a whole lota room for an outswing, but at least it should open fully.

 

What is your largest piece of equipment?

Can it fit through that door?

 

I have to ask myself these same questions for mine.

 

My current thought is to go with a standard plain slab steel insulated door.

I have found some locally that are “seconds” for under $100 range.

 

Get one that is 36 inch width.  ( I will NOT be using it for entrance / exit )

 

With a standard basic door, it is easy to pop off the hinges if I need to swap out any equipment.

Also, it is a “STANDARD” thing ( not a custom thing ) if it ever has to be replaced for any reason.

( accident…break in ….etc. )

 

A plain slab will blend in better with the rest of the truck.
