Lippert Components198295 Hinge Assembly

I have learned there are two different types of hinges usually each RV door will have one or two of these that sort of binds and makes the door not open or close easily in the wind and then there is a regular hinge or two that are easy and have no resistance. Apparently on my door the top and bottom were soft close or whatever they call it and the middle one was just a normal non resistance hinge. I use this one to replace the top hinge and now my door actually closes a little too easy and doesn't stay open in anything more than a light breeze. So figure out which one you need and order accordingly but great quality hinge.

Pre-drilled door hinges 3 holes were opposite old hingeset. but easy drill and rivit with 3/16's rivets. Used lipstick to mark holes on new frame hinge to get perfect lineup for new holes.

This is the replacement for friction hinges. Friction hinges caused nothing but trouble on my RV and in my opinion are a horrible design idea. These hinges swing freely and allow the door to close completely. The location of the screen door hinge is in a different place but no problem to install with self tapping screws. Holes will need to be drilled where there are rivets (which must be grinded or drill out) on the existing hinge. I liked this hinge so much I'm going to replace the friction hinges on my RV second door.

I own a 2017 Cherokee 274DBH that I bought new in the fall of 2016. Noticed the front entry door was getting harder to open and close one the door was rubbing the door frame. Over about a year, it got so bad that we couldn’t use the front door anymore and there was about a half inch of daylight that would shine around it when it was closed. Dealer told me it was a warped door, had to replace entire assembly, would be around $1500. I didn’t think that sounded right. Upon closer inspection, I found that the bottom hinge was badly bent. Tried to straighten it in place but couldn’t. Found this one on here. It is the wrong color and the leaves are not in the same order, but I thought I would give it a shot for $20. After removing my original, it was almost completely frozen. Had to drill some holes to make this one work, but my door is now better than new! And it saved me A LOT of money. All it took was a couple hours work.

I had to cut the hinges off of the door to my RV when the door latch broke. The OEM does not sell replacement hinges. Instead, they want you to buy a new door and doorframe at hundreds of dollars. The Lippert hinges are not an exact replacement, but they are close enough that I was able to make them work. They are well worth the time and effort. (Photos added).

This product solved all my door issues that I had with my RV.

One Star is actually No Stars. Ordered two, one had some friction (seemed it would slow down travel) the other one had no friction at all when opening and closing. After installation it made no difference at all. Waste of money, do not buy this item.

This is a review of: Lippert Components 198295 Hinge AssemblyI purchased this door hinge to replace a damaged one on my travel trailer door. I was a perfect match and the hinge itself was installed with no problems. However, the project itself was an ordeal as the entire trailer door assembly had to be taken down. Once the damaged hinge was removed, new holes were drilled on both the door and the trailer door casing for securing the new hinge. Three guys wrestled installing the door assembly to the trailer because it was awkward and heavy holding the door in the proper position so the hinges, three total, could be aligned correctly. After almost 2 years, this replacement hinge is still doing its job, and I recommend Lippert Components brand. This review was written by LynKin.
