Door issue

[jerem0621]

My door moves around a lot on the awesome pup...

I'm starting to think I am missing something to hold the top of my door in place. I see slots but I don't see any tabs to insert the slots into....

Here is a pic...



Thanks!

That looks good and creative use of what's available.

Whatever type of fix you do.....if you're screwing something into the wall, watch out how deep you go, not much space before you go totally thru to the outside

I wanted to share my fix for this. I used some eye bolts (not sure what they are actually called) and a few clips for a draw bar pin and made my own retention system. Anyway, here is a pic..



Thanks!

Yep, you're missing the plastic T holders. They should be the same as the ones that hold the bottom part in place.

The turn buttons attach to the wall above the door. They poke through the slots in the door frame and latch it into place.

Thinking back to the pup days :h, my first thought was that the rubber gasket on the canvas, and a little hook/loop on top was ALL that held it. Upon, second reflection....there was a latch similar to the pic below on top...I remember NOW, because they wouldn't latch right if the trailer was not level :S
Here is where a similar Coleman part can be found.

Excellent information! Thank you very much! Time to Google.

Thanks!

Yes, indeed. You are missing the "turn buttons". One example is this:


They make a big difference in the stability of the door frame. It looks like they were just left off when your PUP was built.

Google "turn buttons" for the distributor of your choice. I've never had luck finding them locally myself.
