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

If this is all that broke on a 9 day 2500 mile trip then all I can say is I'm good with that.
We noticed that the left side latch pin of the over the dinette pantry was not lining up with the hole and the bottom front left corner was sagging.

I looked at it from the inside. Typical, one screw holding it and it missed the mark. Plus they left all the shavings, shoddy workmanship

I picked up a 2" wide by 1/2" thick pine slat. Drilled, counter sunk the holes then stained it. I installed the fix this afternoon using brass wood screws to color match. This is way stronger than the way they built it.

    Nice looking support! The stain, rounded corners, brass screws... it matches very well.

    Just out of nosiness, what is that metal ring thing to the left of the cabinet door? Looks almost like a flagpole holder...


    the whole front of the cabinet can fold flat that ring is the lock pin (one on each end of the cabinet), the fabric at the bottom conceals the hinge. We put daily use stuff behind the doors and rarely used stuff behind the panels

  • I've had to do some small changes as well. Seems common in all RVs and houses.
  • I don't look at something like this as a repair, I look at it as a forced modification :B
