Has anyone had any luck with a good quality door seal for the main entrance door on a Breakaway? I have installed some great inflatable seals on airplanes and could go that route but they tend to be specific to an airplane type and are pricey. Dosen't have to be the inflatable type..just a good quality seal that has worked for someone. We have a lot of wind noise around our door when we are up to speed.

Try applying a good quality product; I cured my noises with liberal applications of 303 which restored the flex to the seals.

The problem is that this is a screen door frame and the screen door is not installed. This creates a gap. I noticed that the models without the screen door have a much different frame during the GTG in IN last June. So, to run without the screen door is going to require a thicker seal. I was looking for one that would fit on the perimeter of the frame (where the screen door occupied when installed) as opposed to the lip since the door closes flush on the outside.

303 made by Boeing is available at Camping World or at least it used to be. I have used it on tires, seals and the windows. Good stuff.
