I had some problems there also. I ended up filing down the door so that it would clear the frame. It was getting so it would bind the door and I did not like that it looked like it was going to break something. After I filed it, I repainted the frame and door to match the rest of the finish.]]> Mon, 03 Aug 2020 18:28:00 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13865&PID=134868#134868 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13865&PID=134864#134864 Author: mcarter

Maybe not, but unlevel can give you door issues, just a thought.]]> Mon, 03 Aug 2020 16:55:25 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13865&PID=134864#134864 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13865&PID=134863#134863 Author: jrastet

Does not seem to be related to stabilizers up/down, although I thought to try each corner to see if the problem changes.  I'll double check hinge screws with tool.  They appear OK.  Thanks]]> Mon, 03 Aug 2020 16:52:11 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13865&PID=134863#134863 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13865&PID=134862#134862 Author: mcarter

If that doesn't work, remove the bottom hinge screws, and see if you can move door to close with bottom pushed towards close and top pushed towards frame. If so it may be a case of shimming bottom hinge.]]> Mon, 03 Aug 2020 16:43:03 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13865&PID=134862#134862 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13865&PID=134861#134861 Author: mcarter

I have a 2015 178 and have had door issues, I do not have the friction hinges. Is this happening when it is on the stabilizers or you believe it is level, or when it is just sitting on tires? If just on tires, look at your hinges and make sure they are tight. Make sure the latching mechanism is working correctly, and lastly try to determine where door is binding. On mine I tightened the door hinges. Adjusted the latch.]]> Mon, 03 Aug 2020 16:28:58 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13865&PID=134861#134861 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13865&PID=134859#134859 Author: jrastet

I have a 2016 model 178 and over time the door started to rub on the top left (opposite hinge).  It has become harder and harder to close the door while at the same time the friction hinge is getting tighter. Now, the latch is in the way! I plan to lube the hinge which may free up some room to close but I fear there is a bigger problem.?#*  No accidents.  Any thoughts, ideas, fixes?]]> Mon, 03 Aug 2020 16:18:30 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13865&PID=134859#134859
