Do we have any more info on where we can get these hinges?
I also had the door fall off and landed on my foot lucky I had workboots on, but I still have a lump on one of the tendons.
I now have standard door hinges holding it together with a piece of duct tape for a seal, its lasted 8 month so far, but I refuse to pay Obieco $200 for it to stuff up in another 6 years and maybe do more damage to someone.
Standard piano hinges with a 10mm pin are only about $60 for a 6ft length, but Auspost won't deliver them and freight works out to be about $280. And then they would still need sealing anyway.

Seems to be a more permanent solution to the black plastic hinge and still waterproof

G'day Cuppa,
Nice setup. I'm looking for something similar. What is the floor length in the Telstra pods? I want something I can put a narrow bed/mattress in. Needs to be at least 6'4".

My set up fits a double bed mattress. It sits flush with the hot water set up. Rossco. Length wise there was about 10cm left over. We had to put stuff at the end do our pillows didn't slip down. Will post the measurement s when I get home tonight.

I'm also not at home & wont be for a while, & we don't have a tape measure with us, but I think it is about the same size as Gazzmate's Obieco pod (Telstra used both Obieco & Roscos). If you look up the length of a Oztent RV3, the under body 'drawer' space just fits one snugly.
I did think about a set up which allowed me to sleep inside, but setting it up to tour with two as well as for one was just too hard.
