Ah the simple repairs, that you should not have to make.

We had a fold down front like that on a past camper and it had a thin piece of wood that you slid over the doors when it was down and made an upper bunk for a child. My son slept up there till he was 10 or so. After he out grew it we often used it as a wide shelf and just left it down.

Nice fix. Our old camper was made with those kind of cleats installed by the factory. If I remember right it was built in 1976, they tended to overbuild things more back then.
