I was just thinking about getting ready to install Magnetic Door Seals ( like used on metal insulated door jambs ) on my trailer after I route the groove in the facing of the door ( 1/2" x 1/2" ) jamb. The metal ( steel clad ) door will seal when shut ( like at home ). I may install a second rubber seal for extra measure ( know if I can find my lost camera ).

:thinking:

PS: You will have the same problems with salt film and sand near the gulf and ocean areas; instead of dust it will be salt film and sand. :shock:

Thanks for the great close-up pictures, Debbie. The door skirts make a little more sense now. :)

Thanks. When I read your PM I missunderstood "Travel 130milts to the pavemen ent. " as 130 miles. Holly cow.
So...sorry, but what is 130milts?
Man, I thought this place was was up in the middle of no where(which isn't a bad thing), but reading THIS post cleared things up a bit.
Looking forward,

Hi Debbie & Randy,

I presented our teardrop dust problem to an engineering website connected to a large group of problem solver type people. Here are over 60 replies. Some of them make sense. Check them out.
