Abstract

See full text

A service door assembly for a recreational vehicle including a sidewall defining an opening, the sidewall including an inner panel, an outer panel and a cavity therebetween filled with an insulation material. The service door assembly includes a door frame and a door. The door frame is adapted to be disposed in the opening. The door frame includes a plurality of integrally formed mounting tabs interconnected to a remainder of the frame through a living hinge. Each mounting tab is articulable between a first position and a second position such that in the second position a portion of the locking tab extends into the cavity of the sidewall. The door is mounted to the door frame. The door includes an inner member and an outer member connected with a securing arrangement integrally formed therewith. The securing arrangement includes an opening defined by the outer member of a pair of walls of the outer member and a mounting member integrally formed with the inner member. The mounting member includes first and second fingers spaced apart in a generally parallel relationship and a pin disposed between the first and second fingers. The pin is movable between a first and second position such that when the pin is in the second position it forces the first and second fingers into engagement with the walls of the first component and thereby retains the first and second fingers within the opening.
