Entry door, LXi

[david brady]

Brad,

I have to agree, that's one of the things I like about the 450 -
screen door and a way to prop open the outside door. If, after
tightening all the upholstery, it still isn't closing, then loosen
the latch in the door, and just snug down on the mounting bolts a
bit, then close the door. IOW's let it find the position it wants to
be in, then tighten it down. I also find that some of the difficulty
in closing the door is due to the air pressure inside the coach. If I
have a window open, it easily latches, with all the windows closed,
it takes more muscle. Sorry if this sounds pedantic, don't mean it
that way.

the door earlier. Still struggling with it. Probably wouldn't have
slammed it so hard if it were closing better. Also, what kind of a
coach doesn't have a way to prop the door open? Mine sure doesn't
unless I've missed it somewhere. I just use a stick. Brad Barton

upholstery on the door itself, specifically at the center of the door
and near the hinge. All those slammings has a tendency to rattle a
few screws loose causing the uphostery panels to move away from the
door and jamming against the door jam when you try to close it. I'd
remove the inside brass handle, back out the screws holding the
center panel, pull on the large lower panel of the door to release
the plastic clips, swing everything out of the way. tighten up all
sheet metal screws holding the interior aluminum panels to the door,
and then re-attach the upholster (securely, maybe with velcro). David
