Cheers for explaining this. I did have one of these on watch list but left it until I saw your vlog. Got it today and it’s quite a lump of metal and see why it’s 23 quid. Great quality. Thanks again👍
Hi Ian. Another really useful little vlog. Great bit of kit that I'll store away on my list of really useful items if we ever decide to change from the caravan. Thanks again. George and Trish - CaravanningMacs
Ian watched this a few weeks back and ordered the sliding door adaptor it’s now fitted which was dead easy,well manufactured. Just subscribed to your Channel great informative content keep em coming regards Mal
Hi Ian, glad your feeling better now, what a great little gadget, I’ve ordered one straight away. This will be the new FOMO. Happy Christmas Regards Ted
Thank you. I wish it was my idea but I do think it’s a good one. It locks the door in place which is great if you’re on an incline. It won’t be for everyone but I always think it’s good to show people and they can make their own mind up. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. 👍🏻
What a great little gadget and looks very sturdy and well made. My DIY version is a cut down radiator L bracket with a chamfered notch cut out to take the roller wheel at the top of the door frame. It does the job, but not as elegantly 😊
He Kevin. I’m sure there are many ways to solve this problem and this is just the one I came across first but it is well thought out and easy to implement so it’s a winner for me. 👍🏻
Ok so just got my Autotrail series 8 and this fits perfectly. Im not sure why Fiat don't offer different intervals in the sliding door. Very easy to accommodate. I'm going to add I have only driven 250 miles in the new series 8 Fiat Ducato but I am getting 40mpg. I'm quite amazed and not sure how they have achieved this but with no lack of performance it's quite amazing for a brand new engine and it's super quiet and the power steering is non hydraulic. It's electronic. Very responsive and strangely amazing. New technology does work.
It's a fantastically designed engineering masterpiece but I prefer to use my balls Ian. Primarily because I like to be able to have the door slightly ajar at times . Great to see that you're on the mend buddy 😊
Yeah I know people have their own preferred methods but I like this option so much I thought it was worth sharing. I have balls but wasn't sure how to go about jamming them in the door. This just seemed more straight forward to me. 🤣👍
Pleased you’re feeling better Ian - great video and addition - simple and effective to fit and looks very a well engineered- now where’s Rachel put my wallet 😀 - David 👍
Great video great product I’m going to order one, glad you are feeling better that wind must have been bad looks like it blew your moustache away, not that I was starring, thanks pete, p.s also sent this reply via my new iPad but it didn’t come through hope this one does if it doesn’t can you let me know, ha ha
Hi Pete. Didn’t get your message. Must have blew away with my hairy top lip. Had to get rid of of the moustache. Couldn’t stand all the attention for the ladies. Reading your comments always puts a smile on my face. Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck with the door stop. I would take that iPad back if I were you. If you didn’t get this message please disregard everything I said. 👍🏻
It just does what it’s supposed to do Colin. Stops all the warm air in the van from escaping through the big gaping side door. Ideal for me when it comes to letting the dogs out. 👍🏻
Thank you for subscribing Sylvia. I'm sure it will fit the Peugeot but check for the 3 holes in the runner first. If the holes are there you're on to a winner.
Nicely made and engineered. Think I will stick to the squash balls. Think you get a more precise positioning and it takes about 3 seconds to fit the ball. Nicely engineered but not for me. Thanks for the vlog Ian. 👍
Hi What do you mean Squash balls? How do you do this? I have a Vito rear sliding doors and people love to slam them? Damage them? So 1. What's the squash ball hack? 2. Also to make it close sofetly what's best way? There's these silicone or rubber pads but they look gimmicky? Appreciate the wisdom? Thanks H England
@@HH-wh1xt the sport of squash uses cheap rubber balls. You can push them into the slide rail and hold the door wherever you like. Simple and cheap. I still have to slam the door though. Haven’t found a way to do softly. 🙏🧙♂️🚐
Hello, we are hoping to take delivery of our Auto-Trail Adventure 65 soon and I came across your video for the door stop, I've tried to put in the ebay reference number you quote but it does not come up with anything. Is Jeff the Nutt still making the door stops, if so could you send me the link to his ebay shop please? Many thanks.
Thank you Ruth I really appreciate it. I think it is a great little idea because when I am away and the dogs want a wee in the middle of the night I don't have to open the door all the way and scare the other campers with my dressing gown! 🤣🤣
Hi Ian We are waiting for our new CV40 hopefullyFebruary/ March.have a question if you fit the sliding door stop at the first hole will you now be able to open the back side window?
Hi David. Good luck with the cv 40 delivery date. Excellent choice young man. Good question about the window. The window has a bracket fixed to it to prevent you opening it any further. I guess you could remove that and then it would open without being damaged by the door. Personally I sleep with my head at that end and I like to open that window while I sleep. I like the fresh air and it helps to prevent condensation. 👍🏻
Hey Ian, Watching this video in October 2022 in Australia. Would like to get one of these gadgets but searching the EBay item number and 'Geoff/Jeff the nut' - can't seem to locate it - can you help?
Unfortunately I didn't find anything under that ebay number. We have these sliding doors all over my flat with finger pull knobs and the doors slide past the finger pulls. I worry that someone is going to chop someone else's, kids possibly fingers off one day with this, hence looking for a solution.
I hear big fella but I just like the idea of it being a more permanent solution. And a squash ball would not hold the door in place would it? You would need two balls surely! Anyway...if someone sees me buying squash balls they might think I am going to do some exercise. Thanks for the comment Ricky. I gave you a mention as I appreciate all your help. It's not true what the others say. I think you're a smashing fella! 🤣🤣👍👍
@@TravellingfromScratch yeah you need 2 if you’re not level but slightly forward or back 1 is enough horses for courses it’s a good gimmick 👍 UA-cam all about helping people for me so I’m glad you gained some! Soon be 1k

I hope he's got plenty of sticky address labels because he has sold 47 in the last 24 hours. He has sold more than 20 since I looked at them on ebay at lunchtime. So I have just ordered mine because the limited stock will be gone soon.

Get it spent David...you can't take it with you. I love it. Does exactly what it says....on the tin. 🤣🤣
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing - definitely need to get one of those. Great channel too, by the way
Thanks Andy. I haven’t found any downside to it so I’m happy. Glad you’re enjoying the channel. Lots more to come in 2022. 👍🏻
It is indeed "a thing of beauty"!
Brilliant! Just ordered it now £28 + pp
Works great!
Great little gadget .there are some clever people in this world.
A lot cleverer than me that’s for sure. At least I figured out how to fit it without breaking it. That’s an achievement for me. 👍🏻

Good idea…but it will only work for UK vans not Continental vans. I bought one and didn’t realise the unit is side specific.

Hi
What do you mean
Squash balls?
How do you do this?
I have a Vito rear sliding doors and people love to slam them?
Damage them?
So
1. What's the squash ball hack?
2. Also to make it close sofetly what's best way?
There's these silicone or rubber pads but they look gimmicky?
Appreciate the wisdom?
Thanks
