Cabinet door hinges
We just purchased a 2021 295rl. The cabinet doors over the bed and sofa feel “flimsy” and feel like they could fall off at any time. Each time the doors are closed, they are latched in a different position. We have tried tightening them with no success. Any suggestions on fixing them? Thanks for any help we can get.

I have a similar problem on my 2600RB. I'm not sure how your doors are oriented, but mine flip up. When closing them, they don't close tightly, there is about an inch or two of "play" (there is no latch since the doors swing down to close). It's not a big deal, but my rig is currently in for some minor warranty work now, and this issue is on my list. I will update when I get my rig back.

I had HECK of a time finding the unusual hinges used, but finally found some that were almost perfect (and much better made) at Lee Valley Tools.
I just checked their U.S. web site for you and don't see them listed there (I got mine in Canada). I remember that they were called "Blumotion" and were half-something hinges. Home Depot and Lowes didn't have anything like them.
