To compensate, I re calibrated the jacks to read level when it was a little off - to the right (psg) side. Now when the jacks are down and the slide is out - the level I place on the floor reads perfect level (the weight of the slide is pulling the RV level) and the door opens and closes with one finger!
I would definitely try this before I started beating on your expensive RV with a hammer!!!!!

Darren,
Your solution makes too much sense!
My Hurricane 34E's door is sticky, depending on how it's leveled. When it's on the wheels, the door is fine. And sometimes, if I get lucky after leveling, it's fine. I have occasionally experimented with the level button to force-flex the coach box a little until the door doesn't stick.
But, calibrating the leveling system where the door doesn't stick is sheer genius!
I also prefer not to bash in the door frame or strike plate with a hammer! I'd probably end up with a gap big enough for mosquitos to enter!!
