Reversing door hinges on v-berth locker door

For Rinkers with an enclosed v-berth, here's an easy mod that will make it easier to use the hanging locker:  reverse the hinges to make the door left-handed instead of right-handed.  
My 2007 370 was built so that the door could be opened from inside the v-berth.  That makes sense ... if I'm inside the v-berth, maybe I want to get dressed without opening the door to the cabin.  But with the stairs and bed so close, it was almost impossible to use the bottom shelf of the locker.  I had to sit on the bed, open the door, then reach down by my feet.
Now that I have reversed the door, I can easily reach everything while standing in front of the sink.  For the first time, I can reach all the way to the back of the bottom shelf.  
This mod took less than 30 minutes.  It's so easy that I won't even explain how to do it.

    I don't know about that, but I did find a pair of work pants that I haven't seen in a year or two!  I also bought a couple small LED lights to mount inside.
