Last Oct at the Thor Diesel Club Ralley the factory tech worked on it and seemed to improve it as it was starting to show signs of sticking closed again. They adjusted the striker plate.
We had it out on a week long trip last month and planning another one next week. However, yesterday I went out to RV and door is jammed shut! I climbed inside thru window and played around with it with no luck. I removed the inner covering on Trimark lock but could not remove it for fear of damaging the door. I will be at a local RV shop tomorrow AM.
We love the floor plan (especially the mid-entry), the way it drives and now that we are no longer full time, the size is just right. However, this continued door issue is forcing us to think seriously about selling it. This door should not be rocket science, but it certainly seems to be.
Has anybody else had this persistent problem with the entry door , particularly, but not limited to the Palazzo?

There is a lot of discussion threads on this forum about the Tri-Mark door lock. It would be a shame to get rid of a coach that you really like because of such a small (but important) item that can be replaced by another brand. We replaced our Tri-Mark with a Bauer brand after our Axis was about a year old. So far we have not had any problem with it. Do a bit of research and dump that Tri-Mark lock.
