So I had to remove my tunnel to repair everything inside that was broken or rusted. Now I am thinking about just making a custom tube frame tunnel that will make it easy to get inside to do any work later on down the line.
Has anybody done one before? If so, do you have any pics? I am looking for ideas, and suggestions. |

I concur on the idea of not hinging the tube. I would go to a thicker sheet, and add ribs to it to allow for larger acces panels. You could add an additional panel or two using a rib doubler for extra strengh if necessary.
The idea of making a replacement tube that has more access is a good one ( especially if you have to remove it anyhow. |
