Compartment Doors Leak
On our 2021 3761FL most all doors have issues with the door seals pulling completely off or being twisted from factory. This causes our camper to get rain inside which is never good. Long story short anyone know where I can get a roll of these rubber seal material so I can fix these right. Or what have others used that is better quality?
Thanks

I have not ordered any replacement gaskets, but there are several types available on Amazon (screen shot below). Also - some folks have experienced leaks at the top hinge, and a bead of silicon caulk solves that issue...see sketch below.
(The details of the hinge sketch are not exactly right - just intended to get you to look at the right spot on the top of the hinge). I seem to recall that there was a recent thread on the subject of hinge leaks but I could not find it.

In addition to what Mike recommended, I also caulked around the outside door trim.
I suspected NOT being caulked, rain water can wick in around the aluminum trim piece.
So far no more leaks.

Caulk along the top hinge solved our leaks.

Got mine from a dealer. Much better than the original.

Seems to be a common issue
I also have had 5 door seals stick to the doors and come off or rip. CW told me it was less costly for Keystone to shoddily install the seal and have the dealers repair it!
So far, I have had 5 bay door seals replaced! Hoping the new seals, (which are by the way same as original) hold up better. And at .97 a foot, ill let them cover it under warranty! Good luck!

I had to replace a storage bay door gasket for the same reason. I believe I got the replacement from Trekwood. Very easy to install. The hard part was getting all the old adhesive off the door frame. A plastic scraper and Brakleen did the job but with a fair amount of elbow grease.

Once or twice a year, spray some Silicone on a rag and wipe the seals or door so they wont stick to each other.

On my 2019 3791rd my side storage compartment doors gaskets are messed up on on top side, definitely need replacing. The particle board is rotted and the insulation is soaked . Is it necessary to remove the doors and if so do you loosen the set screws on hinges then punch out the rod? It looks too me that that’s what I would need to do
Thanks
Frank
