Barn Door Storage Bins?
I was reading on another forum (albeit a forum far inferior to this one
) about people converting the inside of their rear barn doors to storage bins. Anybody have any information on this? Seems like a great idea to utilize some wasted space. You would think the Ex would have all the space anybody could need, but pack up 6 people and all of their gear for a 2 week, cross Continent trip, and the more nooks and crannies, the better!

Amazon.com: Cargo Storage Bins Rear Door for Ford Excursion: Automotive
nearest i can find but it looks like they just replace the panels there already , and not actually use the space behind.

Yeah, I was thinking it would make way more sense to recess them into the doors as they are hollow. Would be a great spot for a small emergency tool kit, some diesel kleen, etc. May have to just build them.

Hmmm,
yes, agree hard to run out of space in our biggee
Crazy, of all the options I've seen, that is probably one of the neatest to use a boat or rv "door"...
but we might consider :
there might be extra noise from the loss of the carpeted covering
if loaded, the weight on your door hinges might be too much for the hinges designed for very light fiberglass doors and sag....
dunno if that's an issue...
