Sliding Door Kaput

Post by dalmationman »

Hi All
II'm new here, run a 1985 Karisma hitop.
Had a great new year camping in it, but at 11.30 PM the slding door fell off !
Got it back on before the chimes though.
Seems like the wheel thing under the external cover plate had broken in half.
Got a replacement coming from A guy in Surrey who does bits.
Anybody else had that happen ?

I rescued my '85 t25 camper from languishing for three years, put her in the shop to have the MOT work done, on her maiden legal voyage, a bloke gave way to me at the roundabout on the way home from work, as I said thanks and turned right over the little painted blob in the road, I felt a draught, looked round to see a gaping hole in side of the van, the sliding door was hanging by it's bottom runner, dragging the corner on the road! As a consequence the door now has to come completly off to sort the damage. so never fear, you are not the only 1!
having recently become pc savvy, it's cool to know that there are some people out there willing to help, working a 72hr week(6 x 12hr nights) can severely restrict access to anything that is open during the day(sleep-please)! so as a relative newbie, getting a good vibe out of you lot, stay cool!!
