Below are two photos of damage to my Hawk door that I just noticed. I'm not sure when this happened and why I didn't notice until I started getting the camper ready for an upcoming trip. I'm guessing someone tried to break in, since there's a hole in the door and the topmost section of the hinge is bent toward the door. Not sure how else this could have happened, although the camper and truck were out of my possession for about two months while an acquaintance of mine did some truck repairs.
The door opens and closes fine. Should I just fill the cracks with butyl tape or an RV sealant to keep water out?
The next question is more minor. There is a piece of trim that supports the dinette seat that has lost the screw and eyelet at one end. Is there something special about the beige-headed screws that FWC uses in the interior? Does anyone know where to get an eyelet (not sure what else to call it) like that? I was thinking of just poaching a screw and eyelet from the middle of this piece of wood and moving it to the end.
Thank you !!
