I have a bailey 620/6 ranger with a thetford fridge freezer.model N97. The problem I have is part of the seal on the freezer box has perished . Having contacted Thetford they say you have to buy the door as well .Surely this seal can be replaced with an alternative

For what its worth I had a similar problem with the seal on my Thetford Freezer door - took it off, stripped the old seal off and cleaned the door, then replaced the seal with the self adhesive soft rubber draught excluder, bought cheaply from a DIY store. Works a treat !!

Remove the freezer door (2 screws)

Cut the raised section of rubber seal off the flat backing with a Stanley knife and then stick the silicon seal (link below) onto the flat backing. 

Mitre the corners and it looks good & works a treat. 

Total cost under a tenner with plenty left over to repeat the repair

Seal is available from Amazon

Thanks Chappo! Had the same problem and wasn't going to buy a new door just for the seal!

Did exactly what you described and bought 9mm x 6mm hollow sponge rubber D section on Ebay. Cost £2.50 and only used half of it. Works perfectly.
