We just purchased a 2020Imagine 2670 and love everything about it except the bathroom sliding door which leaves a 3/4 inch separation between door and wall allowing guests to see into the bathroom. Any suggestions?

Interesting that GD switched to a "barn door" in the 2670 where if you look at previous years it was a standard swinging door. What you are complaining about is the gap the arrow is pointing to, right?
GDRV-Megan -- this is not the first time I've read a complaint about the gap created by this type of door. Why not fix this during production? Any suggestions for this new owner?

There are lots of great folks here that can help with just about everything.
On thing that might work are door bulb seals, These are rubber seals with an adhesive back and a round bulb face. You can find them at Home Depot, Lowe's, and most any hardware stores. They come in Black and White (possibly other colors) and various sizes in width and depth.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestions, I have thought about the brush seal. I was also thinking about a piece of 1/4 round on the wall that would also act as a door stop since the single screw in the upper track is not very effective. Just seems like a strange design for a bathroom door.

Thanks for responding! I sent a couple of pictures. You can see that the separation allows sights, sounds and smells to be open to whoever is in the trailer. Quite embarrassing when we have guests. I thought about moving the upper track so that the door would be flush but realized that the constant sliding would probably damage the wall. I will probably end up having to jamb out the opening and put a real door in. Unfortunate design.2 Photos

A fixed trim piece on the wall, for the sliding door to come up against when fully closed should solve your concern.

Yes the trailer is level although I don’t believe that would make a difference with this type of door. I went with the simplest solution and attached a piece of 1 3/4 inch casing. The hardest part was matching the color, my wife did a great job with that. Everyone is happy now 😎2 Photos
