People post their "fixes", which includes putting the door on a track so it slides sideways to open, hanging something on the door of the cabinet as a reminder, or making the door smaller so it covers the upper cabinet, leaving the control panel exposed. It is the latter fix that we applied.
Perhaps Keystone should make a design change here. This is such a common problem, and has been going on for several years. Check to see what other manufacturers do about this issue. Maybe install a rolling door, like the old roll top desks is the answer. Perhaps relocating the control panel is an option. There must be a better way!

Had the same problem with our 2018 310RE HC. We ordered a matching cabinet door 18" x 18" and a piece of smoked glass 14" x 14". The shorter cabinet door covers the upper area (no more head banging) but leaves the control panel exposed. We were looking for a solution that appeared "it came from the factory that way". Before we could install it (and after numerous problems) we traded the HC in on a new Fifth Wheel. Now I have a cabinet door and piece of glass I would love to part with for a small fee. Let me know if anyone is interested
