Door not sealing at the bottom

We noticed that the door does not seal properly at the bottom in our newto us but used 3124. When we open the trailer and fold out the bottom part of the door frame at the handle side. This panel fits perfectly at the top of the bottom half of the door. But at the bottom of the door this panel appears to be about 3/8 to 1/2 inch out of alignment. This leaves a very small gap between the panel and at the bottom of the panel. The panel looks to be straight, not bent so I am wondering if I unscrew it and put some shims to push the bottom back to the right position. I tried, but not too hard to push it into the right position. I can push it but it springs right back. I am wondering if I can unscrew it and then put some shims to move this panel back to position.

I would like to include pictures but my camper is in for other repairs. Please help me out. This seems like it should be a problem I can fix.

Hmmm. I am not quite picturing what you are seeing. Is the hinge-side flush with the floor of the TM, but there is a ½" horizontal gap between the floor and the bottom of the door on the handle side? Or, is it a vertical gap between the floor and the bottom of the door?

Good morning.

Is this a new issue? If not and nothing else has really changed if could be a leveling problem/issue.

I know that on our '98 3124KS the short side of the lower door is warped slightly, and if we aren't pretty dead on level there is a gap. Just a thought.

Good luck and hope your repairs are not major.

I don't see any pictures. But wonder if the front top needs to be adjusted for it's travel? I'm no expert on adjusting the travel, but there is information on this form for adjusting the lift system. Also, could the problem be on the hinge side of the door and it's out of alignment?

As has been mentioned before, the door fits much better if trailer is level. It can make a significant difference.

I believe we have the same issue with our door; see pictures of bottom of door. The Hinge on the flap for the door that turns out has light through all but the top two links the gaps getting wider as you move down the hinge to the floor (no picture as flash eliminates the light through the hinge). We have a 2013 3124KB; we purchased the RV dealer's lot demo last year and the door has never fitted correctly, we usually put a mat over the gap to stop the draft, which can be significant at 2C as we have discovered on this trip. Is there an adjustment or a repair that can/should be done to ensure there is a tight seal at the bottom of the door? The level of the unit does not change the size of the gap.
