Traveller rear doors

Post by tezza72uk »

I am currently considering buying a nice condition white Traveller, the only thing that is putting me off is that the right door is 5-6mm lower than the left one. Is this something to worry about or can it be adjusted?

Hi Tezza
Don't let out of line doors put you off.
It could be many things causing it such as miss matched doors poor repairs possible back out of line or poorly installed.
When I replaced Meggies back doors I had a similar issue and ran her into Woodies in Arundal. A quick look over and the issue was discovered the top of off side door needed shaving down to enable the door to be raised up. I did have to re drill the bolt holes but the doors are all lined up now.
Good luck with it.

Looking from the back our Traveller always sat a bit low on the left so last service the mechanic sorted it and hey presto - the back doors align properly now.
