i know a lot of people are using the mc master door seal for the rv10, but does anybody have a model number or any other info i can use to order the door seal?
I went an easier route using either 3/8" or 1/2" tall self adhesive door seals from McMaster (Weather-Resistant EPDM Foam Rubber Bulb Seal, Adhesive Back, 1/2" Overall Width, 1/4" ID). On now for three years and are still like the day I installed.

These attach to the door, not the door frame.

Where did you find Ivan's measurements? I only see pics on his site!
Thank you!
Guys
Having opted by using the McMaster Carr seal, I already cut the lip (aka rain gutter flange) of the cabin top door openings, which left a variable thickness of this lip.
In the bottom lip, and most of both sides' lip, the thickness is around 3/16", which is right on for the seal I ordered.
But the upper lip, near the hinges, and especially in the corners, the lip thickness is way bigger, almost 1/2" thick...!
I suppose I have to file and/or sand the inner surface of the cabin top, to obtain the 3/16" desired uniform thickness, but I wanted the hear from you guys, if you did the same, or is there another way to skin this cat.
Thanks
Carlos
Having a 1/2" think edge is a red flag to me. I've not heard of that before. The thickest dimension on mine was about 1/4". Without seeing a picture, I would be concerned about how far back you cut. Otherwise Vans has done something new to the cabin cover mold.

A photo would help to all others to render better advice.

You can see that, especially in the corners, the thickness is way bigger than the 3/16".
Should I file or sand the bottom?
Thanks
