Well done Bob. This fix will probably last for the life of the van. Just saved yourself an hour labour at the dealership 👍🏻😃 Trev

Thanks for putting this up. Have the same door on my Bailey and was trying to figure out how to repair when it breaks - which it almost certainly will judging by various website comments.

Hi Bob, had same problem on my Adria, sadly we couldn't find any springs. My caravan engineer had a roof light spring and made 2 out of one and replaced both springs so the same tension is on both catches. Your door panel removal is much easier than ours. See you again at Herman Fest hopefully. Les

Thanks for the Video Bob just mended my door which the spring had broken on the bottom latch , I also bought a trim removal kit which made removing the panel easy,I’ve ordered two new springs just in case 😊 but used the old spring as you did. Happy travels for 2024 for the three of you.

Looks remarkably like the door on my Avondale Seascape SLX … BX54AUE…… which continually gave me problems many years ago. A Muckle thing ….. both over engineered and under engineered……. All the best and keep up the good work..

Thanks Bob your video was very helpful, the both springs went in our bessacarr 599, we ordered a box of assorted springs off amazon for £7.25 and there was some in there that done the job. It would have been very costly if we had took it to the dealer. Kevin Mac

Thanks for the mention, Bob! :) Since I fixed mine in the video you referred to, I’ve had to also do the same with the bottom spring. So, fellow Swifties, I think Bob’s suggestion of carrying a spare spring is spot on. This is an easy fix that most people could manage while on holiday, and could save you a lot of trouble. Just be very careful with the edges of that plastic box section. It’s extremely sharp and will easily cut your fingers (I sliced mine!) Ed. @aswiftescape
