Can you replace the hinges on a Fleetwood RV?
Replace or reinstall the door weatherstripping to ensure a good seal is made between the door and the RV. Some entry doors are assembled with a backing plate that the mounting screws thread into on the main door frame (RV).
Why are the hinges on my Fleetwood door cracking?
Each bracket wears on the steel separating washers until the brackets are forced to bend when the door is fully closed. This causes the door to become misaligned and creates wind noise and water leakage. Eventually, the brackets crack and the door becomes very difficult to close and open. The top hinge assembly is the first to wear and break.
When do I need to replace my door hinges?
Typically, if the top hinge assembly is worn, bent or broken, the middle one is beginning to fatigue as well. To restore door alignment and functionality, hinge replacements are necessary. We carry brand new replacement hinges which are a direct bolt-on replacement for the originals.
