The exterior black trim around the window in the door of my Bigfoot is broken in a couple of spots on the outside of the door. Can this be repaired or replaced?
That black plastic trim is generic and readily available, usually stocked in camping world stores or other major rv parts outlets. Also available online.

Yep, and also lots of different color options too. My original trim was dark brown but when it cracked I replaced it with an ivory unit. It's fairly easy to replace.

Also inspect the doorframe especially at the bottom. The door is constructed of two sheets material , fiberglass on the outside sheet and possibly aluminum on the inside. with foam sandwiched in the middle. There is a wood strip surrounding the door itself and this can rot. Check the screws that hold the trim around the door. if they are loose and cant be tightened or they are missing you need to address the issue. A new door. is another option but the only color I could fine was stark white.
My '89 Bigfoot door window was looking pretty sad with several little cracks. We had issue with light shining in when camping so I elected to replace with a unit that had an integral blind built in... We really like this one. The install was simple and straight forward.
