we got a price of around 300.00 for a new end...has anyone ever replaced their door....how difficult is it............AND I know that somewhere I read about the screws not being flatheads causes a problem...any suggestions on this?
We thought we got a deal on this camper 3700.....but now I am ready to cry...any help would be greastly appreciated.

sounds like the entire hinge area, either on the trailer side or the door side of the hinge, or both, failed from water damage.
not sure but did you ask about what to look out for, when buying a used hybrid?
that's the #1 area to closely inspect.
i would assume that whatever the hinge attaches to, is compromised.
some have had to replace the wood that the hinge sits on and some have had to just replace the bunk door.
$300 is cheap for a new bunk door. i think there are You-Tube videos on this kind of job.
