After getting the box truck running and driving it 200 miles home, I next fix the damaged roll door so I can start loading it for our next adventure!

    Have a couple questions about this: Did the single bottom panel cause any issues with the radius of the track or did it allow it to slip on by because of the wider spread roller location? Pros & cons?

  • @AustinCoulson

    The single panel was fine, but I have since learned that you can buy replacement panels at shops that cater to medium and heavy duty trucks. Woulda been a lot easier to just buy a replacement and only a little more expensive

    I realize you were working with what you had, but I think the top of your replacement panel should have been tongue and grooved to mate properly with the panel above it.

    I agree. This only had to make it one trip across the Country but tongue and groove would have been way better long term. Surprisingly it hasn't leaked at all.
