Glenn, since you bought your unit "used" did anyone give you a "walk-thru" on how to open, close and set up the TM?
One of the first things we learned, and see it mentioned occasionally on this board, is that you should close the back shell first from the "curb side". After it is latched, go to the street side and latch it. Then lower the front shell, latching the curb side first, then the street side. Since the door is on the curb side, you have a little more leverage when latching. Doing it this way, DW took the curb side, I took the street side, so we didn't have to do a lot of extra "running around" when closing up.
It sounds as though you need to have the torsion bars checked and adjusted by an experienced dealer. That will certainly make the process easier.
