Opening the rear door from the inside?!?

Post by Madmax245 »

So my caddy is set up as a camper and it it getting really annoying having to go round the side to open the rear doors. I vaguely remember seeing a kit somewhere that was basically a retro fitted internal handle. Does anyone know where I can get one from because I don’t seem to be able to find anything about them.

Is there an equivalent available for the Tailgate rear door Caddy?

My Maxi sometimes doubles up as a camper - but getting out via the rear door would be so much easier than via the sliding door.

A mate have the tailgate door on his camper caddy, he just wired up a string from the standard mechanism, pulling straight back. Nothing fancy, so it should not be too hard, but it is not pretty. ;)

Great info.
Just went to the dealer up here in Sandviken and the whole Kit was Sek 500 when using the list of parts listed. (500 sek eq GBP 42.-) :D
Thanks!

Cheaper option is to drill a hole in the ply lining big enough to get your thumb through just above the lever in the lock mechanism. Works a treat

Fitted my rear handle yesterday, took literally no more than 2 minutes to fit. Hardest bit was cutting the ply in the right place and fitting the trim to make it look nice.
