No matter what manufacturer, year, make, or model your RV is, your RV’s entry door is widely used in the industry. Today, I’m inspecting the entry door of a 2019 Grand Design Momentum RV. We’ll be looking for any signs of water damage, leaks, or other issues with the exterior of the RV.
Join me below as I explain more about the door, the door frame, the screen and some basic info that all RV owners should know.
More about groups
These Facebook groups were created to help educate owners about parts, problems, repairs, fixes, and upgrades on RV units. We will be sharing videos that include WHAT’S IN THE SHOP? and SHOP TALK episodes with information on accessories and products that we use and install on the units from the shop.
We try and help as time allows to answer questions and problems. We encourage others to share their experience so we can build a resource page to help everyone.
Make sure you check out Dustin’s website, California RV Specialists, and their YouTube channel for more helpful information, and see our published articles on RVtravel.com and other social media pages.
Please feel free to share your stories, problems, and upgrades with us so we can build a resource page to help others.
Thank you,
Dustin

We replaced our Lippert made door about 18 months ago on our 2017 Keystone Cougar. After about 5 years we had the same horizontal cracks appear on the inner panel (not the exterior). No idea why they appeared. This TT is mostly stationary, used in the Texas winter, so no significant vibrations. No signs of water intrusion (not to say there wasn’t any). The thought at the time was the door was exposed to high heat and the inner panel’s expansion/contraction was different than the outer panel. After I paid for the door, I heard that Lippert was replacing a large number of doors under warranty for the same behavior.
We had the same thing happen on our 2016 Keystone Cougar.
Thank you, Dustin! 🙂 I hope that they got a good deal on the RV, given all the repair work the door needs. Thank you for the discussion and demonstrations! Have a great day, safe travels, and safe stays! 🙂
I think this could have been just a one minute video.
