Lift Gate too Heavy?
Post Body

31M Alabama.

I bought a 12 year old DIY Teardrop from a seller in Tennessee and I’m finally getting around to gutting and replacing many components. First the structural…

One of my biggest issues is the galley hatch door/lift gate/whatever you call it being just too damn heavy. I’ve taken it off the main body and am looking to either replace it with one made of lighter wood material or perhaps a metal?

Camper weighs 930 lbs with it on. It has to weigh at least 100-150 lbs by itself.

Advice? I also an interested in installing two lift gate arms. First owner installed a rubber top and snaps to the side and latches. They’ve all had to come out because of rust.

Context: I’ve always been interested in owning a teardrop and am having to self-educate as I reno.
