DOOR HINGE GUNTERED

Once again i need your help.
The wind caught entrance door to the camper and snapped the pin on the hinge. This means I cant use the door as the bottom half drops and hangs off if i open it.
Has anyone replaced the pins on these hinges or is it a case of replacing the complete hinge. If so, anyone know the best place to get them.
Any help appreciated

Hi Robert,
Given the couple of recent posts that you have put up about the MH, I think that a trip down to Derek Walsh camper centre outside of Limerick could be your best option . Curraghchase campsite is only 10 minutes away, so a weekend trip could be planned.
He has hugh experience since he has been working on MH for 25 years. I think that he told me before, that he has done engine transplants in older MH. Derek also has a proper paint spraying booth on his premises.
It would probably cost nothing to have an estimation done,but it would address the financial cost of such a job.
Before we had a MH, we had a caravan which I invested alot of work into to extend its lifetime, but when it hit 25 years old , it started to fall apart. The glue holding it together had reached its end of lifetime. After each trip I would have reglue a cupboard or something else back onto a wall. After a full tube of "no more nails" was used it was time to bid farwell to it on donedeal .
Wishing you luck,
Malcolm

As was said a photo would be handy to see type of hinge. I had to replace one on the habitation door on mine about a year ago and picked it up from O'Leary Motorhomes in England. Posted to me within 2 days.

Thanks Malcolm, that sounds like a good idea. I just checked out curraghchase, nice looking site. Might try and make that in a couple of weeks.
cheers :up:
