Title: Type of seal to use on entry door of 1984 Foretravel
Post by: quickmagic on October 31, 2024, 01:34:16 pm
I just posted another question, but wanted to do this seperately because they are two different topics. My entry door on my 1984 coach is so bent out of shape from normal use that there are cracks at the bottom half of the door wide enough to slide a deck of cards through. From what I have read, the door needs to be rebent to match the contours of the outside skin of the coach. Until I find someone who has the bending apparatus for the door, I just want to put something temporarily just to cover up, seal up or stop it from leaking air into the coach. Anyone have any suggest toons or experience or any help, thank you.

While working on coaches over the years we would put a block of wood at the latch area and have one person hold the top of the door pushing towards the coach and another person on the bottom. Depending on which needs to be closer is the one that exerts pressure on the door.
