VW Transporter T5 to T6.1 tailgate hidden / Stealth flap / cover. Who knew that space was there?

There is nothing worse on a beautifully converted campervan, than all manner of ugly connection points coming out of the sides. Brought to you by the people that designed the ever popular e-grille, this stealth rear door flap is a great way to hide all types of connection points. These can be use for electric hook up, LPG inlet and BBQ point outlets, water points for under slung tanks amongst many other connection points.
We’ve seen people try the make this type of thing over the years and they’ve worked, but they aren’t pretty, they sag and flap around, don’t lock in place, have ugly silver cupboard hinges, or hit back against the bodywork. This has been design to work with the simplest of fitting, using your original painted cover trim. When installed the panels sits in its original position so you can’t even tell its there when closed. The hinge system has been cleverly deigned to pull out and way from the body, while locating and holding in place with hidden magnets. When open there is plenty of space for multiple connection tyres.
Design to work with T5 right though to the current T6.1 Transporters with a tailgate, RHD and LHD models (Not compatible with barn door vehicles)
The package contains all the parts needed for installation as well as simple to follow online instructions.

We made a set of these for a van in 2017. We had hook up on the left side, and water fill on the right. A nice mod

Nice. I just 3d printed this for my California and installed a propane/butane hookup for the internal bottle. Be careful - the space is partially occupied if the model has the side assist option.

No we don't make an error, they were originally design for LPG gas in and out, we just released it could be used for lots of other applications. Plus in the Europe they want it all the other way around. We've working on a Right side cover at the moment. Just send it back and we'll refund you 😊
