Replacing rear swing out door

Hello all,
The back door on my 1990 Skyline 14 x 70 is in need of replacement due to leaks and disintegration of the core. It is a cottage style fiberglass door. It looks like it just screws onto the home. Is it an easy replacement if I buy the exact same door? Any problems I might encounter?

Thanks,

Chris

Chris, Hi & welcome. There are a few ways to go about the problem. You can simply replace what you have with an exact replacement, that will require finding a mobile home parts dealer since the door you have is slightly smaller than a standard door. You can cut down a full sized door to fit the opening Or what many here have done is open the door frame up and put a standard size door in.
What you do depends on your skill level and how involved you want to get.
I would recommend Mark's book (Mark is the owner of this site) avalable in the "Books & Parts" section. It addresses the issue of doors and how to go about changing things. Greg
