    Just a quick ask to anyone that has one - Fibreglass doors (specifically the sliding one on ebay) are they any good?

    Anyone got one?
     
  2. I've not seen a GRP one before...
     
  3. Got any details fella?
     
  4. A fibreglass sliding door? When you're on a campsite and you get caught short and have to nip off for the loo at night, you come back and slam the door shut from the inside. We all do it. The weight of the door slams it shut. The weight gives it momentum, you know what I mean. I'd bet it'd be a tricky task if you didn't have the that weight. Fibreglass doors just don't seem right to me.

    If you have the internal silent door handle, slamming it from the inside is a thing of the past.

    I'd be intrigued to see how well it fits though.
     
  7. Never seen them before

    They're ok - they don't rust for starters. The only one I've seen was getting on a bit and broken where the middle hinge fitted (there's a steel plate inside obviously). No chance of welding it but I expect it was fixable if GRP's your bag. It shut fine otherwise - just as heavy as a steel one.

    Is that the VWH one they were given as a sample and now selling on years later? It was on for £100 last time and no bids which I found odd. I'd give it a go. :thumbsup:

    The VWH one was brand new, RHD, in primer and went after 2 bids for just £103 only last week...
