Whoosh Bang

[Rob Turner]

That’s exactly how I used to close my sliding door.
Simple physics.

Not so for ours

closes from the inside with a click too.

Can I ask is the handle screwed in with self tappers ? I recognise the handle as a screwfix one which I was considering fitting.

I never seem to be awoken by doors, just bloody alarms. Could it be that PVC are better sound insulated?

Mine is, the hexogen headed self tapping type.

Yes to both. I have now replaced the st screws with larger st bolts.

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.

It's not so much the noise, just the frequency that some owners do it, and it's not just the case of not parking next to them the noisy ones seem to seek out us white box owners and park next to them.

Maybe the frequency in directly linked to proximity....
I.E. Look darling, there is a white box over there.... xtra Whooshbanging in order me thinks so they do not think we are ignoring them..

One thing that might explain the frequency of door closing is. The central locking button opens both side and rear doors,so if I come back to my van I might open the side door to get in ,go inside slam it shut and press lock on the key and then open the side door again to get in and out but this will lock the back doors for security.depends of course where I am parked at the time .

I'm missing a trick there may have to change the van as I dont have back doors on mine
