This is the cabinet door to the right of the entry door. The cabinet door hits the bump pad over the door, allowing unneeded stress to be applied to the top of the hinge.
Multiple screws are used, splitting the paper "wood". Using 1/2" wood screws allows them to strip out with minimal stress.
Instead of attaching the door hinge to the cabinet, it is attached to the camper wall. Door will move along with the wall, not the cabinet, when traveling. Door latch was 1/8" low, again pulling the top hinge down. 1/8" at the latch translates to at least 1/4" pull at the top of the hinge, with the pivot point at the hinge bottom.
Door covers up the extremely loose tolerances used in campers.
I glued toothpicks in the door and reinstalled screws. I raised the latch and reinstalled door on the wall.
