Improving the door opening mechanism

As we plan to change our supply battery unit, we first needed to update the opening mechanism of the outside door to enable the easy access to the loading space of the raised floor ...

Tools needed for the update


Outside door, left side access to the double floor

Door opens max to about 80 degrees with hydraulic support, comfortable, but not enough!

Hydraulic support element


New opening mechanism to be installed.

Lets start drilling ....


Easy to drill the GFK skin, 4 screws and glue to fix the new element securely!

First element to be installed at the door, 

Anchor point, to be installed above the door.

The result, now the access is much easier, hydraulic support was then removed.

The same installment we applied at the other side of the camper!
