With all due respect...but seriously??
Anybody with some common sense mechanical experience should know that friction fit doors and any friction fit hinge type of product is really inherently unreliable. It tends to work for a little while, but then needs adjusting and tightening.
In other words, it's advertising BS. Plain and simple, it's a feature of dubious merit.
Common sense would be to secure your door in high winds with some bungee cords or something. The rubber stop was probably a slight manufacturer oversight. **** happens in the RV world.
Adventurer has been around a while. I've e-mailed them about a particular camper that I'm comparison shopping for, the 86SBS, and they've replied promptly with the information I'm looking for.
The only real thing I'm wary about with Adventurer is that they really do not have enough dealers, it seems like. They are really far away (at least from me). But, they seem to have about the same number of dealers as Northern Lite, so that's not really saying anything. My bad luck really to have no dealers for either of them close to me.
Always check the bump stops, all of them (doors, suspensions, cabinets, etc). I've learned that through painful experience.
