I had this same problem on my 2012 Eagle and it was a hinge deterioration problem. Leaving the hinges on the camper, remove the door from the hinges and check each individual hinge for smooth movement. In my case, the middle hinge was very much stiff and not moving freely. I ended up oiling...

I ordered some honing grit in fluid and will try this solution - thanks!

A squeak is not really the problem, it is truly binding with significant resistance. I suspect as do others that there is some corrosion on the steel pin. I have drilled a small hole top and bottom of the hinge section to the hinge pin and using those points to apply lube directly on the pin...

Here is what I heard back from FWC, not too helpful but at least not a common problem. We are not sure of why this is happening either. I have seen on other camper forums of people searching for new hinges. I did a Google search with the keywords, replacement RV door hinge, and many images and...

I think the hinge pin is steel while the hinge itself is aluminum, so maybe some dissimilar metal corrosion? Mushroomed pin head top and bottom means difficult to disassemble, and riveted to door frame so removal of entire hinge would be a chore. I have sent an email to 4wc service for input...

Thanks, I've tried TriFlow and still applying daily but no improvement. It is really near seized up, and so little room inside the barrel that hard to imagine what is going on. Maybe corrosion inside?

Hi all, One of the four hinges on the exterior door of mat 2012 Eagle is binding severely. There are no exterior clues as to why this is happening: straight pin, no visible impact marks, gaps appear clean, etc. In the attached pic, the binding hinge is in position 5 from the top. Locations 1...

Here is a pic where you can see the rails on each side and the plywood spanning between with about .5" gap underneath - enough to slip the end of the mat under. There is a midspan support also. Box holds 3 strapped in jerry cans of water or gas. There is a specific cargo track attachment that...

I also prefer to travel with bikes inside my Eagle. I mounted cargo track each side of the cabin floor and then ran an 18" deep pc of plywood between the two sides with fork mounts screwed into the ply. I can securely carry jerry cans, hi-lift jack, and two bikes all mounted to the ply. More...

My louver window also slowly creeps open while driving and I plan to replace the knob which seems to be stripped. In the meantime I wrap a short bungee around the shaft of the knob and attach it back to the fire extinguisher clip. This little bit of tension seems to keep it from opening. Easy...
