I think you are right that something is binding and not letting the rear shell travel the last 3 - 4 horizontal inches. In the pictures I attached, ( I'll try to leave them in jpg) this is as far as the rear shell will go. You can see how the lever arm is just not quite perpendicular (or parallel to the front lever arm - in the other picture). We will try your suggestions and let you know.

Appreciate you sharing your expertise,
Missy
Also, go inside your trailer and look for anything that's binding between the rear and front shell. Look especially by the door side. Something has gotten caught somewhere. Don't force it open though!
