Improving door fit due to body sag, on a 1972 Boler American Options

[Stephanie K]

Hello
New to the site, as my boyfriend and i recently bought a 1974 boler. We are having a similar door sag problem. The body has warped in the upper left corner (from inside) and is quite visible. The door barely closes and pops open quite often.
Although we have many other fixes we'd like to get started on, this one is the most signifigant as the mosqitoes are unrelenting in our neck of the woods.
If anyone has any less time consuming or less expensive (I'm a second year apprentice and My boyfrind is a full time logger) methods for this problem could they please let me know?
Thanks for any help!

Quick Fix
Check your frame for cracks then check your floor for rot. If both are OK and the door is aligned to the opening from side to side, do one of the fixes to bend the door. If not remove the hinges from the door and reposition it in the opening and reassess the situation.

If the front left side of the trailer is warped up, concider shimming the front right. If it is warped down, then shim the left side. But, concider that there is a reason it is warped and if it is because the frame is cracked, it might not be road worthy. My trailer frame almost cracked all the way through which would have been disasterous.
