You'll probably need to replace the entire door assembly, not just the door. Try measuring the door frame opening and go from there. Over the years and even same year from different manufacturers will have different hinge assemblies, so the doors are not interchangeable based on "trailer model"....
On the inside of the door you should find a small decal with a manufacturer's part number and model number. That's likely to be the only door that will fit the opening... not only is length and height of the opening, the radius cuts have to match and they seldom do from manufacturer to manufacturer.....

The front wall in his fifth wheel is foam laminated to FILON with a welded aluminum frame surrounding the cutout. So, "trimming it a tad bigger" would mean making the square aluminum channel into a "C" channel. Probably wouldn't hold up very well to torqueing self tapping screws into it without bending. I'd suppose it could be done, but certainly not without more risk than I'd want to take. If it didn't work, the repair bill would likely be more than the trailer is worth....
Now, to install a smaller door, build out the existing frame to support the smaller door and installing a new sheet of FILON over the old front skin.... The only issue then, would be incorporating the edges of the new FILON at the sides of the trailer. The top would just need a new "screw strip and matching vinyl trim cover"...

A lot to consider, didn’t realize the complexity of the construction.

You could get a thin sheet of plywood and glue a sheet of laminated counter top to it. On your broken door and from the inside take some pliers or similar and bend the metal out so the broken piece can be removed then use it as a template to cut the plywood/laminate to size and bend the lip back up. Carefully make some holes for the locks.

Or just buy a new trailer. With the shipping costs at Treckwood it might be a wash.

Yeah I can't find a manufacturer label. I have checked the Trek wood website for something about the same size I'd have to measure the flanges to make sure but 60x22 is like $329 I would have loved to have found a manufacturers sticker but no such luck. The truck would website does say it should fit a 2009 cougar

As already mentioned before hitting "buy now" from Trekwood check their shipping cost, quite likely it'll be the same as the door price, if not more.
Check Kinro online, they had windows & doors in the past, but have since been bought out by Lippert if I recall.
