Adelaide.

Try caravansplus.com.au. There are a lot more caravan parts stockists on line if you can find the right description to do a search.

Hi CD,
If you live south, give Larry a call at Roadmaster (08 83846011). I'm sure he would be able to help you out and even fit it for you if needed.
Cheers
Gerry

Had one put in rear corner of van to access under Lounge seats.
All up cost just over $500 including cost of hatch and lock.
Was done in Caboolture.

Just a thought to save the money
Doesnt your bed lift up, most do and we put stuff not used much nearer the wall and stuff we use at the front.
Also have a safe large enough for my laptop and a big camera bag bolted thru the floor and welded to the chassis in the front corner of the bed.
Dont really need a hatch to reach anything.

BCF sell them, i put 2 in the front of my caravan myself (one either side). Camec also sell them, neither place is cheap, but
BCF was slightly cheaper then Camec

I used some Dometic hatches....you use the material from the cutout to make the panel for the hinged section.Easy to install if you have a good jigsaw.
What material is the side of your van?
These hatches are waterproof and if you get more than one they can easily key them all alike
Check out the Dometic website. They are easily available.
Check Ebay as
well
