The expansion is a concern. I have shaved the edge of my door on the door side with a metal rasp and it helped some but a couple of days ago I could not get the door to close all the way even after I put the awning out. I found that the striker plate for the deadbolt was the obstruction. For the moment, I have removed the striker plate. I know that a more permanent fix will be required.
If someone talks to Newell and gets some detailed instructions, please post them here. Most of the early 1990's Newells have issues with expansion during the hot weather affecting the proper closing of the door.
