BUT... the Plat Cat as originally manufactured was about 6 inches thick and the door is curved... I don't think the door is thick enough for it.. .but even if it is there are things inside the door that may be in the way... like the servo for automatically latching and unlatching the lock mechanism (power window & lock models)... And then there would be the engineering of having the door able to move and still be hooked up to 12 volt and a propane hose. But if you can figure how to make it work... PLEASE let us know.... Bill
