Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

How to stop RV door from flying open?


I am short.  Yep, it is true....and I hate it when it is windy and our RV door flys open on me because quite frankly it is a PITA to reach to close it; especially when my hands are full of stuff!!

So...anyone have any mods that they have done to their door so it
does not fly back in the wind?

You know...I was thinking like something they have on a screen door
(don't know the name of it) but it is like a shock absorber and keeps the
door from banging open.

One of our friends mounted one of those folding handrails on the side of the door where the hinge is.

That way the door only opens until it hits the handrail. He also has the same type of handrail on the otherside of the door to help getting in and out.

Hmmm, well we have a lighted hand rail and a folding hand rail on the opposite side of the hinged side....darn wish one of them was
on the side of the hinges.
