Door hinge

The front door on our Flagstaff V-Lite 30wfkSS is the door that swings out and stops at about 90 degrees so it does not hit the as ing she. It is extended.
After 6-7 outings, the spring-loaded arm that keeps the door from freely swinging while open has worked loose and is bending and will not stay screwed.
Has anyone else encountered issues with this?

Mine, on our Flagstaff 5er was loose when we picked it up. Moved both pivots 2" closer to the hinge and used 3/16" pop rivets on the door and thru bolted it thru the wall of the camper. After 18 months, it is still holding firm and allows the door to open over 90° but still clears the awning arm.
