Tailgate question

[dansimpson]

Is the tailgate supposed to have a handle to open it from the inside?
Mine just has the door card covering it, so can only be opened from outside.

[BOXY]

Yep outside only . Why would you want to open it from the inside?

[VWCamperfan]

Only opens from outside. I can remember someone on here a fey years ago fitting something to theirs so it cold be opened from the inside though.

Oh don't! We had this "discussion" on our first night in the van - missus insists head to tailgate, I wanted feet to tailgate. I lost! So had to take out rear shelf storage to stop me banging head against it during night

So now I have no excuse
Except swmbo wants tailgate to open from inside, now if we'd slept other way, we'd still have the shelf and I wouldnt need an inside handle

[Mocki]

well, if you are sleeping the wrong way round, with your head to the tailgate, and you are fitting a escape handle to the tailgate, youhad better also be carrying one of these

or you'll injury your head when you fall out

you are sleeping the right way round, with your head to the tailgate

I've corrected that for you as you've obviously got confused

Maybe I should just sleep in the hightop? or do what we used to in our old delivery LT, across the front seats, but then do I sleep head to offside or nearside, and if its LHD do i sleep on the opposite side???
To many options, more red wine required during assessment period
