1. Is it steel? I thought it was aluminum but lo and behold, the speakers I removed wanted to magnetize to it. Cool cool.

2. I bought an interior handle odd eBay because my wife and I camp inside sometimes and want to be able to close it more easily. I figured behind the trim panel would exist holes to bolt it on. Twas wrong. Am I missing a bracket that mounts it?

 

There are two brackets for the handle. They bolt to the door, and the handle to the brackets.

 

You also need these little crush nuts to affix the brackets to the door. I got mine at rimmer bros

 

Oh, so non 7 seaters don’t have that. They are also called rivet nuts. I can’t remember where I got mine, but that is how my ladder was attached.

 

Yeah. I remember that you have to crush those to get them to seat. Use an extra long bolt then put a nut on and screw it all the way down. Then use 2 wrenches to get the crush. One to turn the nut and one to hold the head of the bolt so it don't spin.

 

Thats a good hack.
