Lippert RV Entry Doors: Radius vs Square, Size & Hinge Guide

A new RV entrance door must match the opening and the way the original door mounts—not just look similar in a photograph. Compare these Lippert replacement assemblies by exact part number, listed size, corner shape and supplied trim before ordering.

Start with the rough opening, not the door panel

Measure the framed wall opening where the door installs, using the inside edges of the opening for both width and height. The visible door panel and decorative trim are not reliable substitutes for this measurement. Check the original door's identification label when available, and compare the new frame, wall thickness and seal arrangement.

1. Opening & corners

Confirm width, height and whether the upper corners are rounded (radius) or square. A square and a radius door of the same nominal size are not interchangeable just on size alone.

2. Hinge location

Stand outside the RV facing the door. The models shown here have hinges on the right. Check that your existing door also hinges on the right and swings without interfering with nearby accessories.

3. Trim & components

Check whether the exact MPN includes a drip cap and threshold, and match the existing screen door, latch, window and perimeter sealing details. Installation hardware and components can differ between assemblies.

About the trim column: “Included” identifies components expressly listed for that part number. “Not listed” means the listed package does not confirm those components; check the exact product configuration rather than assuming they come with the door.

What the comparison means for your RV

The two 30 × 72-inch models in this chart are a useful example: V000384493 has radius corners, while V000149585 has square corners. Their listed width and height match, but their corner geometry does not. Likewise, the 26-inch-wide radius models come in several heights, so measuring the original opening is essential.

These listed assemblies are right-hinged and include a screen door with a latch. Some configurations have a drip cap and threshold included, while others do not list them. Do not assume hinge position, window appearance or trim components from a different MPN.

Questions before replacement

Is the 26 × 72-inch measurement the size of the door panel?

No. Use the framed wall opening and the original door identification to select the correct assembly. The slab and the surrounding frame do not have the same measurements.

Can I install a square door where a radius door was used?

Do not assume so. Match the actual opening geometry and manufacturer specifications; a different corner shape may leave gaps or interfere with the wall opening and seals.

Are the hinges reversible?

No. The listed models have right-hand hinges. Confirm the hinge location from outside the RV before ordering.

Should I order additional sealant or trim?

Check the exact door package and the existing wall construction first. The sealant, fastening requirements, drip cap and threshold may vary by installation and door part number.

Before purchase, compare the Lippert MPN, rough opening, hinge side, corner shape and package contents. Correct sealing and frame alignment matter as much as the physical dimensions.
