Here I am enjoying our first long term outing on the UP camped along Lake Superior!

Did have a problem with the seals around the doors leaking a bit. I have trim around the outside and inside of the doors. The weatherstripping I used did not completely fill the gap (which is 3/8's of an inch) but did press up against the inside trim. Any suggestions? anyone ever use the stuff the use on cars? Seems a bit thicker and may work better for me. I'll try to include a pic of the door assembly.

DK, we have found the weatherstripping needs to compress at least 50% to be effective...if you have a 3/8th gap you are trying to seal, you would need a weatherstripping at least 3/4" thick or a piece that is 3/8th on both the door and the trim(wall???)...
