1975 has anybody come up with a solution for the crappy door hinges used on the exterior door on the early Winnebago's. Hm?

Not sure of the hinges yours uses, but Lee Valley has a large assortment. There is one in London, and online:

Their online catalogue doesn't always list everything that is in their physical one.
If your hinges include the screen door hinges you may be able to add three new above/below the existing (with the same offset) and retain the existing for the screen door.
If you were to do that, after installing the new it would be a good idea to remove the existing and use a vise to return their bends to original.
It's called "hinge bound" and "hinge sprung", fairly common. Returning the existing back to shape isn't enough - metal fatigue, weakening, etc. Entry door is relatively heavy, screen is quite light.
Hope this helps.

I was also looking for exterior door hinges for a 1975 Winnebago pull trailer I just purchased. Any suggestions on compatible replacements?
