off the top of my head 24 1/2" with door on (have to pull the inside wood grab handle)
 and right at 27" with the door and wood inside grab handle removed.
Note ! this is for a 2002 320 mdl. (I think the doors are all the same measurements tho)

On mine, the opening is 24.5".  That is the actual door frame with the crimp-on sealing band on the lip at interior edge of the frame.

To use all of that (for, say, bringing in a frig) you would need to remove both screen and exterior door, as well as the wooden grab handle/bar and probably the black grab handle on the dash.

If you are installing a frig it is also handy to remove the passenger seat.

It was possible to remove my original RV frig in one piece.  However, it was very tight and the techs weren't as careful as they should have been so that sealing band now has a number of nicks in it.
