My entry door makes a very annoying creaking noise. Tried lubricants but no improvements. Anyone know of a fix?

Just bought my unit used. Perusing the forums is scary.

Thanks.

Looking through ANY RV forum will make you wonder why anyone buys these crappy built things. As for the door creaking, I've periodically used a silicone spray on mine when starts creaking & so far has worked.

If you have lubricated with any quality lube, it sounds like your door frame or door or both are not properly aligned causing your hinges to be in a bind. It could be that a good wind gust snapped the door open on the previous owner?

About the best you can do is to use a penetrant spray a few times.

You could consider grinding off the welds and re-tacking the existing hinges but that's going to be a lot of work.

I don't remember if you can pull the hinge pins or not. I'm not at the RV at the moment. If you can, then you might pull the pins, clean them with a steel wool, and then lube the hinges before re-installing the pins.

If that absolutely will not resolve the issue, you may want to replace the door and or frame.

RV's are just a lot of work...

Thanks. Silicone spray worked great.

Glad that helped. I use the silicone spray On everything, locks, jacks, slide gears & motors, it even removes tar.
