Lippert RV Entry Door Camber Adjustment Tool

The Importance of Entry Door Camber 

Entry door camber is often overlooked but plays a crucial role in ensuring effective sealing against water intrusion for Lippert entry doors. Entry doors are meticulously designed to ensure that their top and bottom corners meet the frame before the center, thereby exerting additional pressure on the seal, which is essential for preventing water infiltration. It’s important to regularly assess your entry door to determine whether it has positive or negative camber. 

Understanding Entry Door Camber Scenarios 

Various scenarios may arise when examining the camber of your entry door. These include excessive positive camber, indicated by a gap larger than 1/4"; minimal or no camber, where the door appears flat or has less than a 1/8" gap; or negative camber, where the top and bottom corners protrude away from a straight edge. Adjustment of the entry door's camber is achievable using the Lippert adjustment tool. 

How to Use a Camber Adjustment Tool 

To introduce positive camber or reverse negative camber, position the camber tool's legs on the exterior of the entry door near the latch, then tighten the pressure adjustment until a slight bow in the door is observed. Reversing negative camber typically demands more substantial adjustments, necessitating a gradual approach with periodic measurements to ensure accuracy. Conversely, to rectify excessive positive camber, invert the camber alignment tool, placing the legs on the interior of the door, and similarly adjust the pressure until the desired bow is achieved. It's advisable to adjust the door gradually in small increments to minimize stress on its components.
