1989 Champion, entrance door issue, need advice
Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2019 5:33 pm
I have this mobile as a mountain camp, the home sits on concrete block pillars with 12x12 timbers front to back. The home is stable, but for a long time my entrance door is racked and drags the carpet. Recently I see that the plastic covering of the front door is coming loose from the framing and the door will need to be replaced.
Looking from the front, my entrance door and my screen door are out of square about 1" as compared to the frame. I'm guessing that if I remove the door from the framing, there won't be 1" of available adjustment. The may be a noob question, but how do I resolve this?
Here's my guess, and please offer your advice. If I make a new pier and jack up the frame under the drooping right side, it may rack the doorframe back straight? To give more detail, the door opens right to left, the right side is 1" low. The screen door opens out and barely latches and the entrance door opens in and drags the right side across the carpet, the left side clear side as intended.
Because the covering is coming loose from the internal door framing, I'd like to resolve this issue once and for all. I'd really appreciate your advice.
