hey yall,
in this exciting question i am wondering whether it is difficult to put a petrol cap release, on my nifty gas bottle door? or even a boot release?
r they cable nowadays, or electric?
anyone know best way to do this?
I dont want to have a key lock on the outside of the camper, due to aerodynamics etc,
cheers

Cheap & easy to find is a VN-VS fuel door release (also fitted to JE Camira). Have a look at one in the wreckers.
