Thankyou!




Yeah I have just read it again properly too. Brilliant. And this definitely doesnt overstretch the linings or cause any damage to anything??? Sorry, but as I said before we are new to this.

From memory I think it was about £160 BUT

To tell the tale we left Northumberland in the rain and arrived in Scotland in really rain. The journey was shocking and on arrival we found that the door was ajar about two inches. Completely sprained. I couldn't fathom how. The obvious would have been a massive pothole, plausible given the standing water but nothing in the journey stood out as a "what was that moment."

Pennine refused to repair under warranty stating the mattress toppers as the problem. Could it have been that the frame of the cabin distorted violently and pushed the door open.

We'd previously had the nearside locking button moved back about a quarter inch. Was this the first symptom of hinge trouble?

I was quite contrite when I saw that the replacement door as a spare was more expensive than our whole repair which was two new bed hinges, a new door and a new nearside top rail. Pennine had obviously met me halfway as an act of good faith, so the honest answer is that I can't give you anything like an accurate figure.
They're back in business so a phone call might be the best.

We delivered and collected. The repairs were, and still are excellent.

Sorry I can't help more, other than that have you any small engineering works or prefabricators in the area. That would mean you removing the hinges so ordering two self fit might be the best option if you're a far better D>I>Y man than me. Pity LobyDosser's so far away I'm sure he could make you a pair out of spaghetti.



Many thanks for taking the time to reply. When the rain stops will open the camper up and inspect the hinges.

The other point to consider is that it may not be the hinges, or it may be something else that are causing the hinges to twist and therefore fixing the twist in the hinges may not solve the problem.

If you have "up and over beds" that rely on Gas Struts to aid the lift, have a look at the end of the gas strut where it goes through the body.
Although a strong metal bracket at the bed end, at the other end it simply goes through a hole in the wood and aluminium body and this can tear, putting a strain on the way the gas strut works, in turn twisting the beds out of alignment.

I'm afraid "Lobey's Spaghetti" will not even fix this!

We have a conway crusader and i leave everything up e.xcept for curtains on poles ,roof lining stays up bedding stays on and straps just come through unzipped window panel across the plastic.
We just release side clips on roof lining .
We then dont have to make up beds and put everything up when we get there. Only remove bedding when we come home to wash then put back on the next time ready made up.

On the Pennine Pathfinder, the only clips that need to be released are the 4 that are on the roof liner and attach to the front to back roof stretcher poles that come away anyway.

On ours everything bed wise stayed strapped to the beds except the pillows that were put into the folding wardrobe along with the cables for the two electric blankets.
