door pops open when on beds...

Hey all
I have previously posted a thread with the same subject.
I followed many folks advice on properly balancing the trailer to prevent this.
This helps somewhat for the first few days.
I was away on a 10 day camping trip and of course the door popped open everytime someone was on a bed. After trying many combinations with the balancing jacks and tongue jack, in fustration I pushed the wall under the bunked showing someone where I thought it should be.
What I discovered was that the trailer wall, from the entrance door to the front of the trailer near to where the trailer tongue frame comes out from under, rocks.
If I apply pressure to the wall of the trailer, pressing towards the rear of the trailer, the wall rocks back and lifts at the frame about a half inch. While doing this I noticed that the gap at the bottom of the trailer door closes back to normal.
I think I have a problem and am looking as to how I can fix this.
I think it will be a repair for the dealership. I so not have a warranty. Bought a used 2005 at the end of 2005.

In the meantime, you have, um, a new form of birth control  :yikes:
