This is the door bin on our newly acquired Fleetwood 530-3. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to accept Tesco bags! Does anyone know how I'm supposed to use it please?
Thanks
John
BTW I just fitted the Omnistep in the picture: what a nice change from humping the double step through the doorway and scratching the furniture at the same time!

Looks like the white indoor bin type that you have to BUY... Bummer
the step looks good did it take much fitting? and does it retract..

Four csk 8mm bolts through the floor. I made some 16g stainless steel spreader plates about 30mm square, otherwise the bolts would have gone straight through the floor when tightened up! One hour+ to fit. The step retracts flush with the 'van sides and clicks into place. Bought it here:
Buy some of the perfumed bin bags on a roll from the pound shop, they do two jobs in one with keeping the bin smelling sweet from scraps of strong smelling foods.
I love the look of your step, but i would need a wider double version like we have seen on some motorhomes as im not so steady on my feet, especially when having to exit in a reverse fashion lol!

That looks more like a magazine rack than a bin. We have the normal type bin with a lid in the door of our Sterling Europa, but it is too long for a supermarket bag so we find that after a few things have been put in the bin, the bag falls out and I have to pick all the rubbish up off the floor! I love good design. I'm going to give up with it and go back to having a bin in the awning.

The perfumed ones from the pound shops come in two sizes - small pedal bin ones and a longer one for swing bins. Might be worth a look before you give up on your existing bin.

Ooh.....where did that nifty bucket bin come from please?

To be quite honest I can't remember. I just lifted it from the sink cupboard in the house! They are quite popular, so perhaps someone on here can suggest a source?
