Sliding Door Stop

This is a killer mod that solves a problem that all Revel owners are going to have at some point. Namely, the sliding door doesn’t have any intermediate ‘stop points’ — it’s either closed, or all the way open. This isn’t good when it’s cold or raining, because you lose a lot of heat, or get excessive rain into the van. This device introduces a ‘stop point’ for the door at the location that you choose. 

You can find it here.


It costs about $40, takes about 15 minutes to install, and comes with accurate, beautifully-written instructions that even an English teacher would appreciate. Essentially, you locate the position where you want the door to stop, and epoxy the device in that location. The manufacturers will throw in the correct epoxy (JB Weld) for an extra $5. (The epoxy process takes 24 hours to cure.)


Here is the door in action, stopped in the location that I wanted. Of course you can keep rolling past that point and still have the door be completely open if you want it to be.

We made our intermediate stop point aligned with the end of the galley cabinets, as shown here.
