Flyer Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hi folks! has anyone fitted a side or rear hatch to access the gap above the subfloor on the 570 Classic. I've seen a rear hatch on later models, can this be 'retrofitted'? Mine is 1991 on Peugeot Chassis. Thanks. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicka Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hi Flyer & welcome to the forum You can get standard access doors frames similar to the side locker door on your Tabbert, from the likes of:- O'Learys, https://sslrelay.com/olearymotorhomeshop.co.uk/sess/utn;jsessionid=154ca63d2feb158/shopdata/index.shopscript CAK http://www.caktanks.co.uk/CAK%20-%20Products.htm. Magnum Motorhomes http://www.magnummotorhomes.co.uk/view_product.asp?productID=386 Charles & Sons http://www.charlesandson.co.uk/contact.htm Depends on your location, there are also other suppliers, try Googling "Motorhome Locker Doors" It will depend on the size you require, but they usually need the section you cut out to fill the frame, giving you a match to existing bodywork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Great, Thanks for that, Flicka. Just what I need! :-> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 There was a helpful step by step guide how to retrofit a locker door in a motorhome magazine not too long ago. I only hope it was MMM. :$ :$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 This ia a link to the relevant section in the CAK catalogue http://www.caktanks.com/files/cak_catalogue_2010/CAK%20CAT%202010%20Page%20Sections/92-93_CAK_2010_Doors_and_Locks.pdf I'd guess that the aluminium frame product might be a fair match for your motorhome's existing doors, though it might be trickier to fit than the Thetford ones. I don't recall a recent MMM article on adding an extra door, but there are several pages in John Wickersham's book "Build your own Motorcaravan" that describe what's involved when fitting new access-doors, roof-lights and fridge-vents to motorhomes with sandwich-bonded-panel bodywork. I fitted an extra fridge-vent and a larger gas-locker door to my previous motorhome using Thetford products. It wasn't particularly difficult, though there's (obviously) a need for great care that the aperture in the bodywork is cut to the right size and in the right place!

Flyer Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks for the info. I've found some rot at the back, so will have to repair that first! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1footinthegrave Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 OF topic, but could I urge everyone to email Cak tanks asking when they will have an online shop up and running, was supposed to happen last year. It is such a shame that a company with so many products that many of us seek seem to be stuck in the past not having a full online shopping website. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
