Whoosh Bang

CamperJack · Dec 30, 2022

Like most things on my van my sliding door is a bit

.

So if Im sharing a park up I enter and exit via the driver's door. Simples.

Its surely obvious now that no new PVC should be allowed to be sold without the electric soft door closing mechanism being fitted.
Those that already have PVC's without this facility, should be less anti social and have them retro fitted immediately.
Maybe a crowd funding page could be set up for those in need of financial support.

Gone in a whoosh without the bang

Or maybe a separate area on campsites.

I don’t think the problem is with the ‘whoosh-bang’ it’s with the people!
They go in, out, back in, back out, and so on seems like all day and night.

Bit like Meerkats

I’m sure that given £1000 I could get my door fixed- how do I apply for the crowdfunding pot ?

I’ve normally cabled the front door’s together so have to use the slide door to get out.

I await your New Years cheque in the post, or can the crowd funding be in my name?

I admit that I have to whoosh bang on my pvc - if I knew how to adjust it I would

Open the window, it closes easier.

When M/H's alarms stop going off at ungodly hours of the night (usually after I have just got asleep) I will stop Whoosing my Bang!

Now that I have a pvc I’m really going to slam my door, just so I get some room around me….

Said similar on the last WhooshBang thread..... or was it the one before that.... or the one before that.... or the one before that or.... oki doki you get the picture.
WhooshBangs are here to stay and indeed I think they are on the increase..
As stated before buy earplugs and get used to them....

Our first woosh bang had an electric soft close door which seemed to take ages to close with lots of whiring of electric motors, we tended to push to it to, and only properly close it at the end of the day. That habit continued for years. In fact we then noticed how much door slamming went on with the plastic vans. I would suggest some people could look at themselves on that score. Now we have a plastic van ourselves. I won't say I'll get my own back, coz I'm not like that, but due notice taken!

Just for information, my van is an aluminium construction and I would think the door makes more noise when I slam it.

My comment to this is can any owners of the devils steed explain why they have to open and close the bloody thing so often???????

It's like a mouse repellent - it keeps the undesirables away! Need to use it at least once an hour for top effectiveness.

Just for clarification... you say your van is aluminium.. so are you saying you make more noise than a whooshbang.!!
Interesting!!

On my last motorhome (A class) the hab door would only close properly if slammed so probably as loud or louder than a whoosh bang. We actually go to bed quite early, and although nocturnal visits are necessary we wouldn't dream of going outside to pee. I realise some PVCs do not have a toilet though.

At last.. a non Whooshbanger who openenly admits his "non whooshbanger" is as as loud , or even noisier than the foresaid whooshbasher..
Sir. I salute you and admire you for courageously coming out and admiting that "ALL Motorhome Doors" make a noise .
Whooshbangers have a talent to ignore other Very Noisy Moho door noises...
However EVERONE else seem to lie awake all night listening for the nocturnal Whooshbang..
Think it is about time non Whooshbangers got a life and worried about other insignificant and illerevant issues.

Could it be a tin can.clanger :wink:

Rob Turner · Dec 30, 2022

I look forward to parking next to noisy neighbours.

Doors, sliding doors, I’m not really worried.

I do normally win the noisiest neighbour competition though.

You can pay £97,000 for a whoosh bang but the doors are quiet so it's pointless really :rofl:

Get the sticker, join the club :xrofl:

Rob Turner · Dec 30, 2022

The thing is, I can make more noise with my normal door.
I wouldn‘t need a whooshbanger.

My £30000 Whooshbang is quiet..
It's not how much you spend.. its how you close said door.
Leave a roof light ajar and pull door closed then push back of door in to closed..
However if you really want to annoy the neighbours ( maybe they got yappy dogs, screaming weans or mid night parties) then I can Whooshbang as good as anybody.
