Here's one you don't hear everyday, the side door top and middle hinges were so rusted that today they broke and the door is left with one good bottom hinge, the door isn't looking so good either, the metal frame that is on the inside part of the door where the hinges are is bent out of shape, it's not aligned and it doesn't align well with the screen which seems ok. I started to panic and considered calling a mobile RV repair, but what could they possibly do on such short notice? I got out my mallet and pounded on the top bent hinge till I could get it aligned enough with the frame and close it, I locked it but I'm not sure it's locked and I don't want to test it. Now I'm stuck with a door that can't be used and could fall off it's last hinge when I move the RV. I need to go the most cost effective route which would be replacing the broken hinges and trying to align the door properly so that it closes and locks, If I don't need to replace with original hinges, than I found these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R7VZRXQ/?tag=rvf01-20 and I"m wondering if they will do the trick? Is it a Lippert Door? If I can find the right hinges, what makes more sense to take the door off and replace the two broken hinges, or to leave the existing hinge which is hardly rusted and install hinges without taking the door off, if that is possible. I will post a couple of pictures of the hinges if that helps, I need to get this figured out by Sunday when I'm supposed to move the RV, also expecting rain. Please help with any ideas or suggestions you may have that might work. Thanks with one thing after another with all that's been going wrong with this rusty old rig, I"m coming unhinged myself
