Hard to Close Door

[rlf]

HI Wayne:

First, with the door closed and you standing out side, look along the
closure seam and note where the gaps are, top of the lock or below the lock.

To adjust the door, you will need a 5 or 6 inch round rolled up carpet, a
2x4 8 feet long and a helper.

Open the door, the carpet roll goes between the door and the jamb at the
lock area, the 2 x4 goes up through the awning arm at the top and down
across the top of the door at an angle. Some one holds the 2x4 in place
tight to the side of the coach and you push the bottom of the door toward
the coach until you achieve the right amount of adjustment for the gap.
Remove the tools and try the door looking at the gap and door closure.
Repeat the process until it is adjusted.

This is a common problem on PT's for what ever reason but easily adjusted.
OH, yes, be sure to buy your helper a beer.

Safe travels,
