Warped bay doors

We have a 29rl 2006 Monty.

While camping this weekend in the Anza Borrego Desert, we got hit by a really big wind storm. We were unhitched. The wind hit us broadside with big and powerful gusts. Our bedroom was rocking so I went out and dropped onto the hitch for better stability. I felt uneasy about just the front jacks supporting the rocking rig.

Now, I find that the bay doors and propane door on the side that was being hit by the wind (the port side) are warped and won't close without a little pushing and shoving. They are out of alignment. What can I do to get these guys to work smoothly again?

Your input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil Poindexter

hope i'm incorrect here but, are you sure the doors warped? were they closed? did the doors get pushed in in the middle? hope nothing else is "warped". good luck

Especially around the hinges. Open up and clean real well.
