However, it solved the problem completely and the door now closes with a fingertip push, just like the day I picked it up.

I was going to suggest this also. When we got to the first campgrounds with our brand new Outback, the screen door on the front door was sticky and clashed with the door frame on closing. Closer inspection revealed that Keystone had stripped the screws attaching the hinge to the screen door frame. I replaced them with pop rivets and now everything lines up as it should. I also found that, in spite of locating lugs molded into the scren door catch, the builders at Keystone had managed to grossly mis-align the catch. I wallowed out the hole for the offending mis-drilled screw and the latch now sits flush to the frame as it should. I've found other minor niggles like this, but nothing serious...so far (knock on wood).
