Open hatch from inside

janet muccino #163542 Okay I've seen a few things about opening the rear hatch from the inside. I have a 2001 Weekender does anybody know how to do this? Thx
Carl Henderson All Messages By This Member #163546 The EVC (Winnebago Camper conversion) has this capability, but not the Weekender. Winnebago basically added a hole in the trim panel on the rear door to allow access to a tab of the unlock mechanism to give an emergency egress. I think it's a requirement for an RV conversion.
janet muccino #163548 Ok, thx maybe a can cut a hole in the trim and find the release. ?
George Ya All Messages By This Member #163556 Mine has a hole to get at this liftgate release. It is below the rear board that supports the sleeping area and is a real PITA to get to? - esp if the rear deck is loaded with stuff. Not ideal in a real emergency! When i was fixing my rear latch issue lately I noticed there is a spare unused rod connection on the upper side of the rear latch mechanism (see attached pic) that could be used to open the liftgate. Has anyone ever added a rod + push/pull knob to the liftgate (like the front doors), from the latch mechanism going up to the lower window lip on the rear liftgate? Seems easy but likely has some gotchas... -- George Y 95 EVC Winnabago - Ottawa ON area PXL_20220824_001156059_small.jpg
Craig All Messages By This Member #163557 Sounds like a great alternate location….. but that wiper motor may be a problem if it went straight up…. And agree is the bed is made up or stuff stacked at the back it is hard to get your finger in there. I always thought there was a lever for that purpose and mine was just missing? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Fri, Aug 26, 2022 at 6:50 PM George Ya <gny@...> wrote: Mine has a hole to get at this liftgate release.

George Ya All Messages By This Member #163558 I don't have a pic, but if I remember correctly the wiper motor is way off to-the right side (passenger of the liftgate. My bad - should have taken a pic. The wiper linkage is still in the middle tho.But a shaft bend to the left might do it... -- George Y 95 EVC Winnabago - Ottawa ON area
George Ya All Messages By This Member #163559 If you want measurements I can do that quickly. Hopefully all vans are the same! -- George Y 95 EVC Winnabago - Ottawa ON area
janet muccino #163560 Measurements would be helpful thx
George Ya All Messages By This Member #163567 Janet - not sure you would see my post with measurements, because I added "measurements" to the title. So just letting you know. -- George Y 95 EVC Winnabago - Ottawa ON area
