    Overhead Cabinet Door Frame Issue

    The frame on the overhead cabinet doors in the bedroom on my 297RSTS are coming apart. One door was replaced after we pointed it out on the PDI. Now the other two doors are doing the same thing. My personal opinion is that the small "piston" that holds them open put some outward stress on the molding when the doors are closed. They mounted the support piston on the replacement door a little differently and so far it is okay, but the wood grain doesn't match the other two doors. Now that they are coming apart, maybe the replacements will match. Anyone had a similar problem on their trailer?

    For those who have this type of overhead cabinet setup in the bedroom and elsewhere, it appears the support pistons that hold the doors in the open position put stress on the corners of the door when it is closed. The dealer accepted my iPhone pics of the doors and put them on order. They will both be replaced under warranty.
