How have you guys stabilized your rear doors?

Hey everyone,

I have a 6x10 Victory trailer with double rear doors. I'm brainstorming the best way to secure the doors open so that they're straight out from the trailer. My idea is that I can throw a tarp over the top of the double doors for shade/rain cover and have a little patio-ish area out the back.

So I'm essentially looking for a way to hold the doors open at a 90-degree angle. Right now I'm thinking of installing some u-shaped brackets on each door and putting a curtain rod or something in between to keep them from blowing closed, but I'm kind of stumped on how to hold the doors from swinging open wider (I hope that description makes sense). My current idea involves some metal L-shaped brackets and strong magnets, but I wanted to see what solutions others have come up with.

Thanks in advance!

My ex and I split 50-50 custody. Right now, the kids attend the school that my address is districted for, because my ex has had four addresses in the four years since we've been divorced.

However, this time he and his girlfriend have actually stayed together for the past year and a half (shocker, usually they break up/get back together every 3-6 months) and he and the kids have been living with her for most of that time. My oldest starts high school in the fall and he's told me he wants to go to the school districted for his dad's address - it's newer and has better facilities. I told him that was fine.

Turns out they're having trouble enrolling him because they can't proof residency... because his girlfriend won't allow him to have any paperwork trail that he's living in her house, because then her ex husband would be able to reduce the amount of alimony he pays her.

She chooses to work part-time and sporadically, and relies on her inheritance from her wealthy parents, alimony, and my ex's meager income to pay the bills. All her kids are school aged (one is off at college). I seriously don't know wtf she does all day.

But she refuses to let my kids' father legally use the place he and my children are living as his permanent address, which means my kid might not get to go to the school he wants next year.

The fucking morons. I'm so glad I live alone and independently and don't have to deal with anyone else's bullshit except when it comes to the two of them.
