Can rear doors open further?

Postby DanMK7uk » Mon Apr 28, 2025 12:25 pm

Wondering if the two rear doors can open up further than 90 degrees ?

Don’t want to force anything if you can’t

Currently camping in the high top iv built, some lovely scenery and having the doors open further would open the view up even more.

Cheers

They should open 180degs from closed if you operate the button on the inside of the door. The max opening is 90degs compared to the side of the van. You may be able to fit 270deg hinges but not sure in these mks of van. The later ones had the option with additional limpet magnets/stops on the outside of the van.

Oooh yes. That wind when it whips the door back round is quite something. Taken a few clouts from the door when trying to get tools out in windy weather. If its your camper, maybe some extendable/telescopic poles can be used to wedge them open.
