Thanks for the info. I used to have some of that stuff years ago. The one thing I haven't done yet is take the lock assembly apart. What puzzles me the most is that from outside you can push the door shut fairly easy. You still can't close it just by swinging it shut. You'd tear the handle off trying that method from the inside.
Thanks again for the help. It's worth a try.Tom & Kim

I was working on the rig today and took a look at the camber on the door. Never noticed it before, but after reading this thread, it is very obvious. I was surprised by how much of a curve there is. I will try the adjustment as per Lippert instructions. Hopefully it will cure my hard to close door.

We have a 2019 Imagine 2250RK and it had the same problem.
After adjusting the striker plate (SP) and turning the SP over to no avail, I had a good technician look at it and adjust the vertical bar on the outside edge of the SP and have not had to apply any unnecessary force since!

I was having the same issue on my 2021 303rls, the strike plate was installed upside down. I unscrewed it, turned it the correct way and it fixed the problem. No more slamming the door. I did use one of the holes for a screw but had to drill a new hole for the second screw. My son was having the same issue with his Jayco, i flipped the strike plate and no more slamming.

That is the part I am referring to. He took one look at it, took a pair of pliers and made a small adjustment, and thanked me for my military service!
Works great to this day (4K miles later)!

Eighteen months ago after having the same issue with closing the door, I used the Lippert instructions to adjust the camber. It worked great until recently. This time, I removed the small plastic cap on the upper and lower door hinges and sprayed a silicone lubricate into the top of each of those hinges several times each. Replaced the plastic caps and now the door opens and closes easier than ever. NOTE. There was no plastic cap on the center door hinge.
