Our Reflection came with them. We've had ours for 2 years now and had held up fine so far.
Good deal Allen! Thanks for the heads up. Everybody is pretty much saying the same so that’s good to know. Appreciate you watching 👍🏼
Windy? 😂😂 I’ve been thinking about getting these for our doors. Thanks!
We always talked about them too and it’s so windy here in Texas. I’m glad we finally did. Worth it 👍🏼
Great installation video brother
Thanks Chad 👍🏼
My 2019 Jayco Eagle HT came with the friction door hinge and we love it and it works as good today as when new. Thanks
Nice. Good to know they hold up. Appreciate you watching and thanks for the comment. 👍🏼
Looks like a great idea . Let us know if they hold up
Will do. So far so good 👍🏼
Our 5ver came with the friction hinge doors. We love them and I often wonder why thats not an industry standard across the board, just from a safety standpoint.
An example in the start of the video, you had the multiple clips of the wind catching the door. The one with your wife opening the door from the inside, the wind caught the door and she leaned to catch the door and could’ve easily fell.
Hey Mike. You’re absolutely correct. Here in south Texas it blows like crazy and the wind is a nightmare for our son trying to worry about the door while carrying our old dog up the stairs. I am starting to think newer RVers are more common with these hinges.
Definitely appreciate you watching and thanks for the comment. 👍🏼
Our 2021 Coachmen Spirit have these installed from the factory and they’re still working as great as day one. I think you will be happy with them!
Thanks for the info! Seems like most people are saying the same. I was afraid they would maybe not last. Appreciate you stopping by and commenting 👌🏼
We love it
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
2020 Wildwood 28FKV. Factory installed & still working fine. Sometimes would prefer a little less tension because it is too stiff to swing the door without getting out of the trailer.
Not sure to be honest. I’m thinking paint first maybe the way to go.
Chris, we have a 2021 Micro Minnie 2108DS and it was installed at the factory. It has held up amazingly well these past 3 years!
Nice! Thanks for the heads up Cheryl. Seems to be what most people are saying. Good to know, I thought they’d be wearing out over time.
Thank you for your videos, sir!
Just put a set of these on my 2019 Solitude 377MBS, and noted the interference on the lower hinge with the Lippert solid steps - in my case, switching to a flat head screw on one of the flaps took care of it. I needed both hinges to get the stopping friction I wanted.
It looks like you can also adjust the solid step latches themselves left or right to regulate the depth of engagement with the doorframe. I didn't have to move them, but that might also help, if you end up installing both hinges.
Good tips, things I’ll keep in mind when and if I put the other one in. Flat head screw probably would do the job. Definitely appreciate you watching and again thanks for the helpful comment Jeff 👍🏼
It’s been over a year, I did both off the get go. Good so far. No issues. My steps don’t have the lock on them
Good deal Tim. Thanks for the heads up.
Our fifth wheel came with the friction hinge and it has made a difference in the way the door swings open and my wife likes as it does not close the door on her as she in ascending the stairs. Safe Travels.
We've had the friction hinges on 2 travel trailers. On the first one, after several years it started getting very hard to open and shut, so much so that the screws started pulling out of the frame. It's very difficult to get lube into the hinge. We had to have the hinges replaced. We've had the hinges on our latest trailer for a little over 2 years. It seems to be tightening up as well. I'm trying to stay ahead of the game by using T9 on them, but only time will tell. I think only using one set may the the hot setup.
Out 2018 Keystone Raptor came with them installed. Definitely love them and we have had no problems with them at all. I noticed that you already have the screen defender installed as we do. We are very happy with that too. You may want to consider the LCI Screen Shot. Love that also !!!
Thanks, glad to hear it’s something that’s still working out for you. We definitely should have got this sooner!
@@jlantz3691 Cool, thanks for the input. I’ll keep them lubed up. I’m thinking the one install might be the way too. 👍🏼Appreciate you watching.
@@captjim97 nice, I’m glad it’s still working well. What’s the LCI Screen Shot?
Your son at 5:31 😅 Keep up the good videos!
Hahaha right…if you only knew how many times I have to edit him out lol
What is the cover you have on bottom of your screen door? We are looking for something like that to keep the dogs from going through the screen.
Lippert RV Screen door protector. Had that on for 4 years now and it’s still going strong. Here’s a link 👍🏼

My parents 2019 camper has the Lippert Friction Hinges and are very difficult to move. My 2022 are much easier. Would you recommend using the Boeshield or CRC lube on them?
I think only installing one was key for us. I personally use Boeshield on everything especially things like that, seems to lube things up real nice for movement.
@@WhyWait thank you. Your videos are so helpful.
Good for about a year, then problem returns just not quite as bad
Thanks. Appreciate that.
I'm curious did you install 2 or just 1 as shown in the video?
@@mooreadventures just one so far for us. Seems to be about the tension we want. 👍🏼
@@mooreadventures Factory installed when we bought new 5th wheel, 2 hinges
