I applied Gorilla glue in hole and on plastic bushing once I completely had removed the hinge and hardware. Let dry over night before reattaching screws. No issues since repair and we have traveled about 8000 miles this winter.
Good luck.

Just be careful with Gorilla Glue because it expands. Put it in a hole and the wood might split. Some good wood glue mixed with sawdust is excellent for filling a hole and then insert the screws while the glue is still wet.- Nature of the beast with all the movement an RV gets.

Lakeside - Had same thing happen to a cabinet door strut. I got a wooden dowel that fit the hole where the plastic one was and cut it flush with opening. Used wood glue to secure the dowel in the hole. Screwed the screw into the wooden dowel and so far no problems.
