I am new to the forum and looking for some assistance. Can anyone help me find where I can buy a hinge. The local Jayco dealer said they are not available. It's a 2012 model and was surprised it's not available as a spare part. The brand is DGN. Refer photo below Thank you

Gday... I just came back inside the van to get me lunch after sitting under a nearby tree reading quietly ... and this was the temperature that hit me as I opened the door - 1pm EDST which is only 12Noon real time. Cheers - John
