You can buy hinge reinforcement for the Notcolds. http://thenorcoldguy.com/norcold-reinforced-hinge-kit-634166-click-for-compatibility/
The hinge reinforcement must be installed BEFORE the door breaks. Its not perfect but does add strength to the door. The kit contains both a LH and a RH reinforcement and ONE washer. Use the reinforcement you need and washer, buy a like washer at the hardware store, and sell the remaining part with washer and instructions to someone with the door hinged opposite yours.
I was lucky enough to mention on the Yahoo View/Navion forum that I needed a RH hinge kit and someone with a different model View with a LH hinge did just that, sold the remaining hinge to me for half price plus a bit of postage. Better than throwing the part away.

I guess I need to buy these reinforcements before my Norcold goes.
