In this video, I attempt to install an aftermarket Lippert friction hinge onto my Keystone Cougar fifthwheel trailer's entrance door. Unfortunately, the hinge turns out to be incompatible with my particular Challenger brand model of door. I discover the Lippert hinge is a little smaller, so it won't fit flush.
Anyway, I was curious and decided to take the hinge apart and try and figure out how it actually works. I didn't find anything special inside, so I assume it's just pressfit to a predetermined pressure. I did notice it contains a small amount of what looks like graphite grease.
Based on some earlier feedback I received on friction hinges there seem to be people that either love or hate them. From what I gather most are referring to OEM installations. So in the video, I ask folks to leave feedback in the YouTube comment section below.
