Plastic Basement Door Hinges

The basement access under the bedroom slide on my 2015 38RL has 2 doors:  the one on the right has turn latches on the top and bottom, the one on the left has slam door latches on the top and bottom.

The top hinge on the right side door failed last year.  It was plastic(!) and I replaced it with a small stove bolt of the same diameter.

Now both plastic (!) pins on the left door have failed, so the bottom pin probably has to be replaced by another plastic one that is driven into the hinge.

I've searched everywhere on the web for plastic hinge pins with no luck.  Anyone with a suggestion or a source for these pins?  Why would anyone put a plastic pin on a door hinge?????

On my '13 36RE I called Lippert because they made the doors.  If I remember right, their is a sticker somewhere on the door that has a product number that Lippert uses for the replacement.

Is it the hinge or the hinge pin that failed? We've not had any issues but good to know.

Go to a hardware store and get a steel roll pin the same size

On mine I dropped a couple 1/4", if memory serves, stainless steel bolts.
