Looks good Bill, but what about the decreased trade-in value because of the non-matching hinges? I do need to check ours out, it seems like they changed the design but I cannot remember what the change was?

On edit: You are doing a great job with the photo documentation!! Keep up the good work and valuable contributions to the MOC!

Thanks Bingo!
The hinges are different aren’t they? I purchased them at 2 different places. Do you think anyone else will notice?
In the Appalachia area where we live it seems that people haven’t heard of Stainless steel hinges. I couldn’t find any anywhere. I sort of resist ordering a lot of things from the internet. I may change them out later on when I find some that's what I’d rather use on them.

I repeat again Bill-- When you get done there with your working on your Monte, come on out to Nebraska and I'll let you work on mine too! You've done some great work and mods and all should be well when you hit the road for those great adventures!

Nice job, I'm doing the same as needed. My hinges don,t match, but the good thing is we are not going to trade it in. When we are gone the kids can worry about that.

Two bolts probably would have been plenty for the hinge to metal side. I figured it would be better to use all four holes in the hinge for the plastic since it has such a tendency to break or tear.

We've been fixing those things for years. When do you think Keystone will get the message and fix the problem at the factory?

I'm thinking the mis-matched hinges will decrease the value of the coach by at least hmmmmm 25 cents maybe?
