We are in Mitchell, SD.  Actually we were able to fix this ourselves.  We 
called Airstream and they told us that the hinge is attached by bolts, not just 
screws, which meant we had to access the bolt from the inside.  We peeled back 
the wall covering, cut out a portion of the aluminum with tin snips, which 
exposed the interior of the wall.  We removed what insulation we could,  and had 
to cut and pull out silicone sealer that was there to hold the nut.  Just 
drove the broken part of the bolt through.  

We purchased new stainless steel bolts and self locking nuts and installed 
them.  The door works better than it ever has.  We have decided that while we 
have all the door trim (on the inside) off, we will replace the screws in the 
lower hinge as well, just for good measure.
