After doing a little searching on this site as to why my door shuts hard, I found that my coach is a victim of middle age spread. The previous owner did a good job of covering over the indicators so I didn't see the signs until now. Right now I need to slam the door to close it. I hope the fixes outlined on this site will resolve the issue. I plan to fix it after this camping season is over.

Once fixed, how smooth should I expect the door to latch shut? The weather stripping also needs to be replaced so I plan on doing the full rebuild. I don't think I need to recurve the door at this point.

Thanks for your input.
