2007 Desert Fox 24AS Ramp Hinge

I have a broken hinge on the ramp door of my 2007 Desert Fox 24AS which I bought new in 2009. I've contacted Northwood and they were of no help identifying the parts I need. I've contacted Lippert and they say that they need information from the label on the frame of my ramp door. I've checked mine and a friend's 24AS and neither have a label. I would like to replace the entire assembly but I'm not sure which springs ??????? I need. I have 4 springs with 15 coils each. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Thanks Yguy. That gentleman seemed pretty knowledgeable. Ultimately he did not know where to source the same springs, but he did provide an educated guess as to which springs to use.

I camped with a couple friends that had DF Toy Haulers the really big 5er and one about the size of your rig. I'm disappointed that Northwood wouldn't be of more help.

If you were in Idaho, as your plate suggested I'd say contact Drakes RV Repair in Pendleton Oregon (541-278-8170), but from Alberta that probably isn't worth it. At the time I used them they had repair teams that had worked for all the manufacturers in the area including Northwood, Fleetwood and Keystone, they might be worth a call for advice/direction.

Here is an older thread that might be helpful, talks about a spring manufacturer called Holmes Springs now called IDC Spring
