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.

Never heard of that and like you probably looked at, the googler doesn’t show anything.
Not sure what you’re trying to accomplish with your question though. Quieter for sneaking out when the crumb munchers are sleeping or easier to use to they can get in and out without you getting out of the lawn chair?You could get one with a sliding glass door. They’re pretty cool. Rented a big ole chitbox bunkhouse trailer a couple years ago with one. It was pretty convenient.
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.
