Hi Chris.  Thanks for the answer.  With the help of a flashlite I 
discovered the same thing....looks like my doors have gone for 
flying lessons at least one other time.  I am still trying to figure 
out why the whole interior is put together with pop-rivets.  
shish...what a boggle.  The holes don't fit a single screw.  I 
thought about doing the backing routine you settled on, but have 
decided to swap out the doors for lighter ones in the near future so 
I am going to use nuts and bolts.  I also found a pair of hinges 
that are much heavier than the ones supplied by AS for these doors.  
Talk about wimpy hinges for HEAVY doors.  The ones I found are 
heavier duty.  Like you I find the whole thing will be a lot easier 
to put together on the picnic table, that's my shop, ha ha  ha, and 
then haul it inside and reattach. You should have seen me trying to 
prop the door up with my foot while reaching around the door to 
screw in the screws when I first tried to just reattach the old 
hinges.  what a laf.

I thought I had to replace my pump, but discovered it is shorting 
out against the cover that goes over the part where the wires come 
together.  I took the cover off and haven't had any more problems.  
That pump is going slowly but surely.  It pumps along and then skips 
a beat.  I think it is going to go into cardiac arrest some 
afternoon.  The other problem is I have developed a leak when the 
trailer is on city water.  Problem is I can't find the leak.  I 
think it may be coming from the fill pedal on the toilet, we still 
have the original toilet, but am not totaly positive as water can be 
seen all along the hallway side of the bottom of the fixture.  Right 
now we have solved that problem by not leaving it on city water ever 
and making sure the pump is always off unless water is being used.  

I agree with you.  I thought the quality would be better given the 
original price, but maybe they figured the buyers were so well off 
they would just haul the AS in and have the AS center dealer fix it 
every time.
