Water works and storage door hinge issue

The 60 pound shocks caused the hinge on the right side to pop loose at the first rivit. I had the same problem with my last RV - with that one I had to replace the hinge.

My solution - removed the two 60lb shocks and installed a 40lb on the left and a 15lb on the right. Would have used two 40s but I had a spare 40 and 15 lb'er. Door opens easier and stays fully open. Put a pop rivit at each end of the hinge - 1 to repair the location on the right and one on the left for good measure.
