WHOW! pump the brakes...This is poor design period... a door swing the other way fixes it and it should have been that way from the begining...no other solution other than it should be fixed with a swing the other direction is the bottom line... most agree. A recall? Not going to happen because RV builders are not held accountable...don't make me go here on a failure that is filed under the same issue. They are (the builders) are at fault here it is a no brainer...in this day and age word gets out quick...let's wait and see what happens on this... I have been turned away at the door before... I get what they are going though..

It's funny I was just camping on the Pacific Ocean in my Adventurer with the friction hinge door this weekend in nasty weather. I really was impressed Saturday when winds were topping 25 mph that the door wouldn't budge and never has. I think it's almost too stiff and have never had it hit or blow open. Maybe in this guys defense His door is different? Not sure, looks the same.

Now I don't have the ladder on the open side, but man, some force to punch a hole. The bumper placement is shoddy and the bumper placement is equally missed by the company, dealer and the customer, IMO. I have never had a warranty issue or any problem with my Adventurer and think they build an excellent camper, been very happy with mine so this thread title surprised me a little this morning and seemed kinda dramatic.

Here's a quick video I took this morning,not blowing too hard at the time, but you can see how stiff mine is.

When I purchased my next camper, this will certainly effect my decision. All manufacturers have flaws from time to time, it is how things like this and how they are handled determine the longevity of the company and the dealersh

It's a shame this should happen to a new TC. Whether you consider it a design flaw, manufacturing quality control/build issue, or something else, I think Adventurer is responsible and should make it right.

Unfortunately my first hand experience with Adventurer suggests they are great throughout the sales process and then you fall off their grid when it comes to after sales service/support.
