For those attending the 2018 NewellGurus/No Rally Rally in May 2018, we would like to determine if there are sufficient interest in having Bode Air Door issues addresses by Newell to warrant Newell providing some level of assistance.
IF you have a Bode Air Door AND are planning on attending the No Rally Rally in May 2018, please vote in this poll to help determine interest.
Please check as many boxes as apply to your coach if you have a Bode Entrance Air Operated Door. If you are having issues and plan on attending the rally, please make a post below describing the specific issues you are experiencing.

I voted on the above before I read the instructions to vote on multiple items if applicable.
- I will be attending Rally
- I do have a bode door
- the door is working fine now
- I have had problems in the past that cleared up in past few months. I am wondering if the levelness of pad plays a big part?
- I am always interested in preventative maintenance and learning systems

I have a Bode door and it needs a helping hand at times. Other times it closes properly. I was told by the dealership if they adjust the air then it slams shut

We are definitely wanting our Bode door adjusted.
It does not want to close when it is cold.

Have a Bode door that did not work properly for 1.5 years until Henry at Newell finally did his magic and fixed it. Newell had tried fixing it 4 times before but the fixes never worked. We had a slight problem in that the door would open as we were going down the rode at 60-65 mph. My wife did not appreciate the blast of air smacking her in the face when this happened. I finally had to use a seat belt to hold the door shut while we were in motion to keep it closed.
