I just checked my door and it opens wide, as seen here, to 50 degrees. (Disclaimer: Never took geometry in high school. Used a carpenters square and eyeballed the inside passage.)

Closer to 150 Myron, 90 is straight out to the door and add from there. The newer models open almost 180....

My bad. What I meant was the angle from the wall to the back of the open door.

Replacing cabinet hinges would not be so difficult. What matters is to choose the rigt hinges. You need to choose the hinges depending on the door weight and height. Best Methods For Replacing Kitchen Cabinet Hinges: https://www.yigii.com/replacing-hing...en-cabinets/td

Myron's post was from 2017. I'm not sure that it's a priority any more.
I've broken a couple of hinges over the years. Replacements are readily available. What's important is to get hinges that match the existing holes which isn't a problem. I bought some in Baja that were a perfect match. Globalization.

Hinge Trauma - 2009 19ft
Thanks for these links. I will be installing my 3rd set of hinges. Apparently the bounce-stresses in the trailer, weight (leverage) of the doors, coupled with weak, ineffective catches and weak metal in the hinge itself are just put too much for the hardware I've been using. I have several that have broken on the cabinets below the sink and below the bed. I've installed 3 hinges per door under the bed which helps. Thanks again.

For some reason the one below the sink seems to be the one that breaks most often.
Two things that I've done. One, replace the latches. These latch more positively and physically hold the door from bouncing downwards. Two, a simple external latch that keeps the door in place. Hinges are much more likely to break if the door swings open.

Thanks, Ron, I do plan to order those heavier catches/latches. Your little device over the handles is very cleaver. I'll try that too.
