Sliding door - rumble, rumble, rumble................... slam. (1 Viewer)

[GeriatricWanderer]

I run a PVC camper with a side sliding door and am very aware how much pleasure this can give other campers at various times of day and night.

Fortunately my Toyota base door slides very quietly (well insulated with nvh stuff) and it's only that final click of the door trailing edge that is a bit noisy. Easy to quietly push from the outside but impossible from the inside........ until now.

Doorboad off, hole drilled in inner door shell, bolt fitted, doorboad replaced, short length of fabric dog lead attached to bolt. Job done. Can now achieve that final click from the inside without invoking the wrath of the neighbours.

Now working on a supply of anti sog stoppers ready for the coming season and those soggers (not doggers), who park too close.

You should patent and sell your invention immediately as well as being honoured for your 'Services to Campsite Harmony'.

Our sog vents out on the roof so all the nasty nifs will go way over your head and be caught by the nearest Hymer.

Sorry but its the only way to close our side door.
Would love to have a quite door but on an x250 based van its just not going to happen.
Unless u know differently.

Our sliding door has the 'soft close' on it so it does it very quietly, it's just the sliding it to that point that can make a racket!

You might think so but I'm a pop-top with mesh ventilation panels in the elevated roof so have frequently been subjected to odious odours of the sog variety.
My soon-to-be-patented anti soggng device (think potato up exhaust pipe), will send those vapours back from whence they came.

I'm on your side GW closing a door is just a one off thud that disappears in a split second, whereas odious odors linger long after the deed has been done.
