You have to wonder what moved to make the striker pin so high. Perhaps it's the cantilevered section of the floor between the frame and the skin that's sagged. I think that Orlando outfit adds stiffeners along the frame as a countermeasure. It probably involves gutting the coach.

The door is a mess. The hinges look like they’ve been repaired several times at the door and the coach. They are solid but cobbled and maybe out of shape a bit. I replaced the pins and brass inserts but that didn’t do much. The original strike pin will allow some misalignment so I’m hoping dropping the pin around 1/16” may give me reasonably effort latching.
