Door is bowed

[Frenchman]

I just purchased a 2022 Jay Flight 212 QBW that I'll be using in retirement (soon). After driving it from Montana to New Mexico, I noticed a few fasteners that were missing. No big deal but a little disappointing. The real issue is that the door appears to have a bow in the middle, as if someone tried to pry it open, but there is zero indication/damage to support that theory. This unit has a friction hinge (new to me), but it doesn't seems like that's the problem. Is anyone familiar with this issue and what is a safe way to persuade the door to be straight without damaging the door?

My ‘21 is the same, I was told they are made that way purposely. Not sure, but it hasn’t caused me any issues and I don’t have friction hinges.

That's correct, the door camber serves a purpose.
