Over the past few months, the entry door for Miss Doozie had become more difficult to enter from the outside - often requiring two hands - one to pull the latch and one to push in on the door. To some extent, we figured it was almost a security benefit as someone might try to get into the unlocked door and assume that it was locked because the latch did not release it... but... it was unhandy if you had anything in your hands, and we didn't want it to get to a point where we could no longer enter the bus!
I mentioned it to Jimmy (it wasn't on our list!), and he took a look at it... determining what the problem was required taking off the decorative covering on the inside of the door...

| Removing all the fasteners that connect the decorative panel to the door. |
 |
| There it comes off! |
 |
| There were additional metal covering pieces that had to be removed to get to the mechanisms. |
Jimmy found a couple of items that he could adjust and the door is SO great now - it hardly takes any effort at all to use the latch to get in from the outside. SO nice!
