Because if the shell is sitting too low it makes it really hard to fully engage the lock pins on the door jambs into the clips, which outs the jambs at odd angles instead of perpendicular to the lower box wall, and makes the door pretty much impossible to align correctly.

Heck I’d even say make sure your pocket stops are set correctly so the upper shells open to the correct spot, which allows the upper door and previously mentioned lock pin clips be in the correct positions.

I had door issues the first bunch of years I owned my 3226. Had to hip check the door to open it from inside, and closing it was a total PITA. It was due to the roof sagging, pushing the walls outward at the top, causing alignment issues. Door opens and closes like butter as long as the camper is level.
