There's quite a few advertised online. None are cheap. You might try a trailer salvage place, they may have an old hinge.

They are sold by teardrop trailer parts suppliers. I was considering them for the same purpose, but of all the ones I looked at, I could not figure out a way to make them work for a rock guard. I will be interested in seeing what you come up with.

It will work, but you will have to do some removal of part of the hinge. I created a stone guard for our Shasta Compact and it worked great. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have. I do remember that I had to add about 1/4" an aluminum flat bar behind the hinge, in order to kick it out past the window frame. I get my hurricane hinges from Teardrop Trailer Parts They are expensive, as well as expensive to ship.I would suggest that you ask for a sample piece of the hinge, which you may have to purchase. This way you can play with it and figure out to make it work.

BIG thanks to n2hcky for posting that hinge! I had been looking for a hinge to build a rock guard for a couple of years with no luck. I was able to buy the 7 foot long hinge and just finished the guard for the front of my Shasta. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/193066503@N03/51198414266/in/dateposted-public/" title="F58F8006-082E-477C-A011-60610FDAD6AC"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51198414266_9b73bbd0fb_h.jpg" width="1600" height="1600" alt="F58F8006-082E-477C-A011-60610FDAD6AC"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/193066503@N03/51199477910/in/dateposted-public/" title="A1ACD561-04C8-45AA-B665-1BE00F3CA812"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51199477910_ee3a89c666_h.jpg" width="1440" height="1440" alt="A1ACD561-04C8-45AA-B665-1BE00F3CA812"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
