The left side of the gas locker door on my 2011 Troll 540 has a small but significant area of corrosion and a small hole at the edge of the aluminium panel. Does anyone know of a way this could be repaired without it looking obvious or could anyone thoroughly recommend a mobile bodywork restorer in my area of Kent and East Sussex?. It's most unlikely but does anyone have a good gas locker door for sale?
I would add a couple of photos but cannot seem to be able to find a way of attaching them.

Hi Randa, Thanks for your welcome. It looks as if I have a not uncommon problem with my door.

Brian.

If the 6 year water integrity guarantee has recently expired then you might be successful in Hymer making a part goodwill payment for the repair/replacement of the door. However, you would quite reasonably be expected to show that the integrity test had been carried out at the
prescribed intervals which, looking at the one post made by Ingrid in the link provided by Randa, this doesn't appear to have been the case.

I agree with Colin. Irrespective of any warranty, consumer protection law entitles you to quality in goods that a reasonable person would expect given all the circumstances, e.g. price, description etc. This right is not dependent on any water ingress test. However, the drawback is that you can only claim from your seller. Also consumer protection does not apply to private sales. If you bought from a trader then go back to them and argue that significant rust would not be expected on a van of that age. Given that it is 5 years old, it might be reasonable for you to pay a proportion of the repair cost, especially if it needs a new door (as you will be getting a better door than you should have). If you bought from a dealer, they will probably be told to get lost by Hymer as out of warranty, but it's the dealers responsibility irrespective. Our locker door grew fungus inside due to a defective lock. It was replaced under warranty but had the van been older and they refused to deal with it I would have kicked up a fuss, as the defect was there from the beginning. Some things you expect to break/wear out etc. but rust within 5 years?
