Don’t like the Woosh Bang, I love mine

[Sapper520]

It's not the whoosh bang door that's the problem, it's the inconsiderate people who keep opening and closing them without a thought that they may disturb others. We, and I suspect the majority of owners are aware of the noise they can make so we tend to be ultra careful. When we had an A class I was also aware that continually opening and closing the door was annoying to others, no whoosh but considerable bang. It's rather like the screaming kids, barking dogs, loud tv or music etc etc. All that's needed is a little consideration, there is nothing anti-social about PVC's or for that matter other campers/motorhomes, it's the people in them that can be anti-social.

Only time ours gets closed fully is when we’re closing up for the night, or if we’re leaving the van on site and going out.

Rest of the time it stays wide open, or closed too with a slight click.

We keep thinking about a PVC then start wondering where we would put all our stuff. I guess it would need a complete rethink but we're golfers. How do we carry our clubs? All answers gratefully received apart from the ones suggesting we ditch them.

Our Rapido V68 has storage designed primarily to accommodate skis, but I'm sure some golf clubs could go in as an alternative.

Only just seen this thread, but like other PVC owners we love the big opening side door, not to mention the barn doors at the back!

Oh and I don't think it's been mentioned in this thread - although many will know - the whoosh-bang door can be closed much more easily and with less force if a roof light or other nearby window is open.

Tree’s in the way, but doesn’t give a true image of the view…..and we had them open whilst lying in bed.

Was on a small campsite the other day in my Coachbuilt with 4 PVCs very close to us, 2 to the left side, one to the right and one in front (it was a very small site). Every morning bang, whoosh bang, bang again, whoosh bang again and so on when you're trying to grab the last bit of shut-eye before you get up. Same again in the evening after dark, when you're trying to have a relaxing evening watching TV or reading. Manufacturers really do need to resolve this anti-social attribute of PVCs. We generally try to park away from PVCs for that reason but on this particular site, apart from one PVC to our left, we were first to pitch up. Then we got surrounded. Nothing against PVCs otherwise, in fact I do like the look of many of them.

I’m very pleased you‘ll never park next to me.
