Request: Gas-locker door for Compass Lynx 340/2 caravan (Gilesgate DH1) Expired 1y - This is a rather niche request! The gas-locker door for my caravan - a 1999 Compass Lynx 340/2 - got broken. It's a moulded fibreglass item, that fits the shape of the front of the caravan. I can't get a replacement from the manufacturer or find one in any caravan breaker's list. So I need to get one made. If you have the same model of caravan, and could lend me your gas-locker door, I could get it copied by a specialist manufacturer or 3-d printer. I'd give it back, obviously.
