Can Controlled Motion Hinge for Lippert Entry Door be Used on Coleman Destiny
Updated 03/18/2026 | Published 03/08/2026 >
Question:
First. Thank you so much for your expertise and knowledge, and your willingness to share that knowledge and experience with us! I have a 2010 Coleman Destiny series Soldatna tent trailer. It has a stepper door entry. I have recently done and SOA spring over axle conversion from you guys, thanks much! to allow me to mount 14inch wheels and tires compared to the original dangerous! 12inch wheels and tires. Im very happy with the results, but for one problem. The down stepper doorinch now does not clear the tire. It binds on the tire and does not down enough to allow the proper access to the interior. I think you get the idea...... the door hits the tire before it s down enough to be a step into the trailer. In my effort to remedy this, I decided that I can cut the bottom parts compartment and hinges off of the entry door and convert it to a side swinging entry door Ill add collapsible steps to compensate for the stepper door being no longer usable. Therefore, Im looking at door side hinges and am wondering if the controlledinch 5 or 6 point hinges would work for this application. I think they would work out quite well. Your thoughts and expert advice? Hopefully, the pics I have transmitted as intended. Thanks again! Robert

Hey Robert, yes the Replacement Controlled Motion Hinge for Lippert RV Entry Door # LC25TX that you referenced would work great for what you are looking to do. These are going to hold the door in whatever position it is when you let it go so it won't slam open or shut in the wind or anything. Your pictures did make it through too, thank you for that!

Well, I ended up using a different set of hinges (non controlled). But Jameson truly went above and beyond the normal call! His expertise made me comfortable and I realized he KNEW his product very well! Thanks Jameson!!! You are true asset to the Etrailer group!
