Here's a picture of the corner of my cabinet above my stove in my 63 Shasta. As you can see, the left corner of the door hangs lower than the cabinet frame and I think it will interfere with my stove hood when that goes back up. Does this indicate a bigger problem like rotten rafters? If not, how do I bring the door back into alignment? The hinges seem to have some wiggle in them also. PO's solution was to shim the hood so the door wouldn't rub. Thanks for any advice you can offer, Moose

is it low on top on that side as well? I would remove the top hinge from the cabinet,(leave the hinge screwed into the door) take the top screw out of the bottom hinge on the cabinet side, then have someone hold the door where it should be or mark it with tape or something that can be removed, and drill new holes for the top hinge, the old holes will now be behind the door and out of site, and the top hole on the bottom hing you might be able to re-use or move that screw over a bit as well.

Sometimes you can tweak the hinge by simply lifting the lowered corner. Be sure the screws are secure in the cabinet and door before trying this.
Not sure about framing issues. If you can see/did see water damage, I'm guessing the trailer needs structural repair...
