Door weather stripping

[richfaa]

The above is pretty much like mine....but why??? We stripped it all the way across like every door I have seen. Hope we have not violated any engineering principles but we do note a decrease in cold air coming in under the door..At least we did not void he warranty

I got a call to come pick up the trailer and will do that Monday.. The service manager said that he adjusted the door frame to fit the door.

I think I'll take a straight edge with me to check his work since the door was bowed atleast a quarter of an inch. Making some assumptions.. a fix that doesn't include making the door and frame both straight and plumb is not much of a fix. What do you guys think?

As long as the edges match up to the door frame to keep the skeeters and flies out, that's what would matter to me.

The only thing I can think of is, it may be so a slight propane leak could escape and not build up, or maybe it's just for humidity ventilation. Other than that, I have no clue.

I still haven't had time to get mine to the shop. I am going to try next week.

We got our trailer home today, and I checked the seal with a dollar bill, while the door looks bent, it seems to be sealing OK. I guess I'm good with it as long as the door continues to seal properly.

I notice the bottom of the door is also sealed as described above. I suppose those gaps are to allow moisture to escape at the bottom should the trailer fill up with water.
