Front to Rear height difference is easy to fix small amounts on. At the rear of the camper on the underside is a pulley that is attached to the rear of the frame with a long bolt, washer and two nuts.
With the roof DOWN Loosen the nut at the rear and then shorten or lengthen the long bolt attached to the pulley as needed. You can just snug it up without really torquing it and run the roof up to check heights. I would honestly not worry about 1/2 inch front to back height difference. It is possible your door is not fitting correctly because the upper limit switch just needs to be adjusted a little.
I believe making the bolt shorter makes the rear end higher at max height. Don't get terribly hung up on the cable that goes from the roof to the frame if the front to rear height is adjusted and the door still doesn't fit. You can just loosed the upper screw on the cable and raise in tiny amounts until the door fits by changing the limiter then reattach the cable where its taught in a new, lower hole if needed.
