Billggski Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hinges are pretty standard, not worth a manufacturer creating their own design, so if you can post a picture someone may recognise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 If the door has three hinges, as a stop-gap solution, could you remove the good centre hinge and re-fix that in the top position? As things are, the centre hinge will be getting somewhat overworked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Billggski - 2014-08-29 5:18 PM Hinges are pretty standard, not worth a manufacturer creating their own design, so if you can post a picture someone may recognise it. I think Hymer may well have chosen to fit special door hinges for this era of their A-class motorhomes, as I vaguely recall looking (years ago) at an early-90s model and noting that the hinges were apparently fitted with grease-nipples. GOOGLE-ing on “hymer door hinges” retrieves forum discussions that may be helpful, and GOOGLE-ing on “hymer door hinge images” should retrieve photos that may be useful for comparison purposes. If Hymer were fitting ‘funny’ hinges to the doors of their B-series motorhomes in 1994, one would need to be very lucky to find a mid-90s Hymer (motorhome or caravan) in a UK breaker’s yard that had the ‘right’ hinges in good working condition. As JudgeMental says, you could try asking Hymer themselves http://www.hymer.com/en/catalog-and-contact/technical-inquiry.html? or Hymer Club International might be able to help. http://www.hymerclub.co.uk/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starvin marvin Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Try Darren at Brownhills Newark, he's the Hymer parts Guru. Hymer will for a price send by next day delivery. I've had a water tank drain tap ordered before 12.00 noon (euro time) and received by me at 3.00pm next day by DHL. Otherwise you have to wait for the weekly overland delivery and onward posting to you. Simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to suggest Brownhills..as a quick search(using images), the first image on the page shows a : "HYMER HABITATION DOOR HINGE PRE 1997 " , from a Brownhill's ebay page..? (oops!..it'll make much ,more sense if I include the link....... :$ ) http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=hymer+habitation+door+hinge&FORM=AWIR#a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
