Basement Door and Hinge removal

[WVPete]

Hi!
I am trying to remove a door and hinges on my 2005 Dutch Star. It is the door just in front to the rear tire wheel well. Does anyone know how to remove these hinges?
Thank you.

I'd call Newmar, they have been very helpful to me and I did not buy the coach new. Have your Vin # handy when calling.

I notice in your signature you use a drive shaft disconnect. How do you like it and who made it.

pretty straight forward get a square drive bit, open the door and take out the screws.

also take off the gas shock

Thank you for the replies. Jimbo2013, you are correct about removing the door itself but I have to take off the hinge also. That, I have not been able to figure out.

ByeTtheWay, I got my driveline disconnect from Superior Driveline. I installed it my self and it works well. There are a couple of tricks to engagement and disengagement. Once you have those figured out, its no problem at all. We pulled it 6000 miles this winter and had no problems at all.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I will call Newmar.

I think his question is:

How do you remove the hinge?

[jimbo2013]

ok the hinge is mounted to the door with 8-9 1/4" rivets, just drill out they are aluminum and replace

The hinge is wrapped up in the rail above it. I called Newmar. He told me I have to loosen the vertical trim on the end near the back wheel and slide the hinge off. So, I have to see about this when I get home. I'm still living in her!
