Door closing problem

We have a ‘16 Denali 289RK. The entry door is giving me fits. It is very hard to close. The door is striking the door frame and makes it very difficult to close. Any suggestions?

Us usually use either the stove top, a crockpot or InstaPot. Our R-Vision had a micro/convection combo that worked very well. Miss it.

Looks like my 289RK. My dealer winterized it the first year I had it. Took me an hour to find both valves and purge the antifreeze. Anymore I just blow it out with air. Works fine for us.

My dealer told me to never use EternaBond on the roof seals. I’m wondering why?

I am thinking that I want to permanently deal the seams and EternaBond looks to be the right stuff.
