Bathroom Door not latching

[tcnmchu]

Hey guys,

I took our new Rockwood Roo 233s out for the inaugural trip. Everything worked great but on the way home from the campsite I noticed my bathroom door is not latching. I had shut the door before we left the campsite but when I got home the door is misaligned. Any suggestions on how I can fix something like that? The door looks intact, nothing looks broken, it is just misaligned? My PDI the door worked well.

Thanks for any suggestions you guys may have.

Things shift and settle with use, use a piece of carbon paper to see where the door latch is going across the plate. Then use a file to enlarge the plate so thee the door latch will then lock into the plate. Had to do this with several TT's.

X2, enlarge the latch hole up and down to accommodate the flexing the trailer frame experiences during travel. Nothing to be alarmed about.

i hope you're not using your stabilizers for leveling.
doing this can tweak ultra-lite frames, like the Roo has, enough to throw things off like what's happening to you.

but it's probably just the plate needing better alignment.

Put a carpenter's level on the floor of the trailer, both in the left to right and front to back. If the camper is out of level, the frame can be twisted bad enough to crack the walls and keep doors from closing.

@bikedan; no i am not using the stabilizers to level the trailer..... i read about people doing that so i only use them to keep the roo stable! thanks for all your suggestions!

happy travels!
