    Cool 375RE Sliding Glass Door concern/question

    Hey guys

    We are considering the 375RE and we love the design. The question my wife came up for me to post was, Has anyone had any problems or concerns with the sliding glass door from a security perspective? She is most concerned about when it is in storage, and when we may not be "home".

    Any thoughts on how to help her feel better?

    The sliding glass door on the 385RE has a pretty stout lock on it. And you could always lay some sort of stick in the track for further security while away. IMO, it does not create an easier point of nefarious entry. If someone is willing to break a piece of tempered glass that big, they were getting into ANY trailer.

    The slider is an awesome feature.

    We're comfortable with the security of the door as well. It has a better lock than most home sliding doors.

    Mgoblue911, do you leave the screen door on when traveling? We left ours on for a short trip, but are a bit concerned for the longer trip of the rally. I'd sure hate to see it hop off going through Chicago.

    What about when it is in storage is there a concern that someone make use this as an easy point of entry?

    I don't see it as any easier to break in through than any of the other windows or door. It's heavy tempered glass, with a good lock.
