Self closing sliding door.

Hi everyone!

Picked up our Freda last week and I'm a bit confused about the sliding door...it currently has to be slammed shut, but I did think that there's supposed to be a self closing device. How do I identify if it is supposed to be self closing? It is a new shape, 1999 Freda.

Many thanks!

Just gently push it closed.....it should then finish off by closing tight on it's own.....you will hear the motors if it's working.

think clue is number of contact pins on door and frame

i believe closer has 5 less if its not fitted

note it only pulls door in the last bit

You need 5 pins for the door to be self closing

I'd view this as a bonus. Little to go wrong and it isn't taking battery power when oyu're on a campsite. :wink:
