This was after a long day of exploring gold mines and an old Welsh village near Castlemaine. My back was giving me hell and I was being "comforted" by my raman.

Have ordered the replacement part from Camec this morning which they will ship TNT Express to the caravan park here in Ilfracombe. We will just sit and wait for it.

Shaken (in the back of the ute), not stirred.

What! You haven't discovered *DUCT TAPE yet? The very thing it was invented for. That and fence wire will fix everything that needs fixing.

Are all the hinges the same?
Might have been an idea to have a spare as well if they're that bad.

Brad, I don't think duct tape will do it.
Bruce, I did take the precaution of ordering two and once we remove the broken one we will get it welded so we will have plenty of spares.

Ok, but might keep the door shut until fixed. Another temporary fix would be to remove items from the door to reduce inertia, but I'll bet you've already done that eh?
Without trying to make an issue of it, I think it would it be useful for others to be aware of brand/model (I have an RM7851) specifics just in case.

You could be at a lot worse place than the Illfracombe caravan park waiting for your parts. That is one park well and truly worth the expense of staying there, the evening entertainment by the owners and their kids is terrific

At the previously mentioned $80 replacement cost, I think I'd be engineering different hinges for the job.
Hope this is the end of the problems for you pair, between you two, Kay & Bruce, and the GG's, the caravan repair and the 4 X 4 maintenance business must be booming.
