Ditto. We have never taken it with us. I think it's stashed in the garage somewhere! We replaced the shower curtain with a lightweight liner curtain (had to sew two together and add grommet section from the old one to the top) and we just use that for privacy. BTW, the liner curtain is much lighter and dries much faster than the heavy plastic one the pup came with.

Got the answer that works! Same problem on our 07 Niagara. Grandkids couldn't push the button at the same time pull the door open. Lowes sells a storm door handle with a lever that you pull to pull the door open from the outside, and push a handle to push the door open from the inside. Works great. In fact, I also put one of the main door on the outside of the PUP.

I know that the door is one unit, but it helps mine to slide it back to the hinge side alittle ...If I go too far the catch wont hit at all...I still say try sliding it back on the velcro some...It works for me.

A small file to round the corner, then some 400, then 600 grit paper to really make it smooth, then a small amount of teflon grease, and everyone can use it now. Though the lock really helped keeping our friend's son out for a while.

I got rather frustrated with my push button latch and slapped some tape over the catch, then next day removed it and sprayed it with silicone lubricant - what a difference! Much easier to open now.
My Niagara is an 06, and while the door and/or walls don't appear to be warped, with usage of the door, the door/frame comes loose from the hardwalls - velcro. Yes, I've combed the velcro to be sure it's clean...am considering getting two c-clamps.

Would any of you be willing to send me a pic of your wall/door setup? I have a 2000 starcraft that has only a curtain and my girls would love it if it had hard walls! I'm sure I can build it myself if I have an example to go by.
