My bottom door hinge has snapped in two places - where the top & bottom tangs attach to the frame. They appear to be attached by screws & rivets(?). I did notice that in cold, wet Canberra that the door was getting hard to lock from inside. I assume it is a Camec part - fitted to a Jayco van.
I suggested to my wife that I'd buy two but on eBay they come as a set of three. Should I only replace the broken one or all three (knowing Murphy's Law)?

When I busted my bottom door hinge I replaced only that one. No problems. If you choose to replace only one, at least you'll have a couple of spares! Good luck. Cheers.
Buy 2 complete sets and change the existing ones out individually as possum said
I've found that when one goes it's just a matter of time till they all fail
If you need new ones when out bush it can be a very expensive process
Thanks everyone,
I went to a local Toowoomba repairer who carried some spare parts - the cost was very competitive with the online suppliers.
What did stun me was the cost of a cast metal clip that holds the Ezy(?)Lift bars in the locked position but this was the first time I had seen them (everywhere else said "We only have plastic ones."). The price - $7.80 each!! When I bought the van, one was tied up with a shoe lace - it is still there if required. After this lesson, shoe laces might be the better option.
