Simple Campervan Upgrade - 170 Degree Hinges
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- Campervans are very clever spaces, no doubt! But sometimes you find that little thing that you think could be improved even further.... On our van one of these very items that could do with improving is the hinges on our wardrobe doors! They only open 90 degrees which makes it very hard to use...
Join us as this week as we change the hinges with a quick and simple upgrade using parts from a DIY shop to give 170 degree opening.

That was very clever. Take care Gill
Good work. Beer earned!
Yea! Done the mod at last with the confidence that it will fit as I have the part number! Now - confession time - did you chuck the old hinges or put them in a bag at the back of the cupboard just in case - to throw them out 20 years later because you can't remember why you kept them (like me😂)
You've only done half the job!. What about removing the central bar (and also moving that fire extinguisher to the passenger door pocket so that it is accessible from the cab and the living space, which it certainly isn't in the wardrobe.)
Nice and simple but a good mod. did you really film the into and outro separately🤔🤔 Looking forward to seeing the new type of pitch. Cheers K.
Dinny forget yer ballgown Caroline next trip lol
nice im going to do this mod to mine ! yr lass owes you a beer or two i think mate !
Just watched this video this afternoon. The same issue has been driving us nuts in our V-Line 636 Sport. Same layout as your Adventure but with the U shaped lounge and no back doors ! Went straight to Screwfix, bought the hinges (a bit pricey !) came home and fitted them. Bit of a faff getting them aligned not helped crumbling screw holes 🙄 but perseverance paid off. What a difference it makes, so thank you very much for bringing this simple mod to our attention. I’ll get you a nice local beer if you’re ever in Northumberland 🍻
Cheers
Steve
Thanks Steve really appreciate you taking the time to comment, it helps us to understand if the content is useful especially for planning new content 🥰👍 We can't believe we waited so long to do it, the difference is amazing and we can actually use the wardrobe properly now 😂
Simple & easy, useful modification, thank-you both. The two of you, always create a smile, because of the smile and warmth you both bring to your videos, which deserves a 'Thank-You', all of it's own.😃♨
What an excellent idea.
Jobs a good 'un, Ian ... You certainly earned your Sunday Roast.
Although when you said at the beginning its a simple job, sometimes its those jobs that are fraught with problems!
Love a great practical mod - well done! Problem solved.
Still think your screwdriver is epic 😀
Have a great weekend, all the best, David & Rachel 👍
Looks great. If at any time the screw's come loose and won't tighten, you can get repair kits for the door and unit, they are metal plates. You can get them from Howdens. Your hinges are standard kitchen unit ones. You could also use soft close ones. Thanks again for a great video.
Great job Ian, gets a great big thumbs up👍. Maybe add a couple of mirrors on the Inside of the doors to make the space feel bigger?
This is awesome! We have a delivery date for our 65! Looking at June 23, so can't wait to get started doing things like this!
Hi, Auto-Trail may have been doing some listening & product development!!
New deliveries you should find have a single cupboard door hinged on the left with wide angle hinge 160° or so. You might however have a use for the hinges on the other doors, like the thin ones by the bench seat and nearest the sliding door.
