    I thought when you hit the ejection trigger the explosive bolts are set off, the door flys open and you go flying out of the sleeper?

    I also understand that only three dealers in the country can put it back together so it is dot compliant?

    It is called a "Jump Door", you know to help you load and unload much easier.

    Also to drop the Paratroopers over Normandy lol.

    Heh. I was wondering if I should have said anything...

    Listen Mr Driver, everything in that truck, attached to that truck, built into that truck is your domain, take charge of it. You are the King of the Road arent you? Not some scared puppy seeking affirmation and permission to touch things that do things?

    It's been a very long tine since Ive dealt with a dump door. It's a positive in several ways, especially if you can air out your sleeper every few days.

    be very careful with those who knock on that thing in the night. hee...

    One thing to add....the door can be opened from the outside by a lever in the side box so always keep youp side box locked so you don't have any unexpected meetings during the night.
