That is pretty nice.

You stated they will be just above the dovetail. Are they on a hinge to open so to load the car?

 

yes one of the pictures shows, they split in 2 at the center and then fold up against the wall.

 

Get with a commercial glass company that does store fronts, they will be able to build you anything.

A lot of the frame work is mass produced, just cut it up and screw it together, then have the glass made.

 

A lot of the toy hauler companies are doing that but for a lot less money.

Just be careful.
My neighbor has replaced his sliding doors at least 4 times.
I'm not sure if he keeps buying the cheapest junk made??
He and his dad both have had nothing but trouble until they had a professional wood worker come and make custom fit pieces??

The twisting or vibrations kept tearing them up.

Yeah i cant imagine one of those lasting long in a trailer like what we all use for hauling our shit in.

The twisting and flexing of the trailer has to be hard on them.

 

Get with a shower door manufacturing company. The extrusions are small enough but yet strong, they accept tempered glass, and a lot of them have glazing vinyl that will accept lighter 1/8 or .200 tempered. They can be attached in an accordion fashion off of one of your steel uprights in the trailer with a continuous piano hinge also a piano hinge between panels. You would have to fab something to lock the first 2 panels to the roof and floor to stop them from moving when opening and closing, and come up with something to hold them against the wall while in motion. Probably 3 22 inch panels and a 22 inch door with a magnetic strike. Should not be too hard.

I really like sliding glass doors, I want to install them in the living room.

 

Yeah, glass sliding doors look great. But they need special care. They get dirty very quickly and fingerprints remain on them. Honestly, this is not the best option for a home with small children. You will often have to wipe them from various stains and traces. One day our little son decided to use glass doors as a road for his cars. We were lucky that he didn't get hurt, but we found 2 large scratches on the doors. They spoiled the view of our living room, so we called the guys from the service that deals with glass scratch repairs. Here projects Archive | Unscratch the Surface Inc. you can find more info about it. I think all glass door owners should have the contact of a good glass restorer.
