Entry Door Hinge
Are there any better options for the entry/exit door hinge setup? We are new 5th wheel owners with two toddlers. We are hoping for a soft close, or easier access/close system door.
I want the door to shut with a hinge system that soft closes. The loud bang of shutting it is the issue, but also just trying to make it easier on the Littles so they can have fun without me hollering to shut the door lol.
You talking about a pneumatic strut like on a screen door, or an electric latch like on newer cars? Never seen one on an RV door. Given the safety aspects of how an RV door must close for travel, while I am sure it can be done, I've never seen it and wouldn't advise it. There are soft open struts/hinges, but I've never seen a soft close. Just teach your kids how to close the door softly. Seems like a solution in search of a problem.
