Warped entry door

I just picked up our 2017 pace arrow 38k from the dealer a couple of weeks ago. During our maiden voyage, we noticed it was very difficult to lock the entry door dead bolt. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the door itself was warped in the middle not allowing the dead bolt to line up. Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, how was it fixed. I will be taking it back to the dealership for this problem along with a few others.

They probably will grab it and twist it back and maybe realign the striker pin.

If you are talking about the center of the door being slightly bowed out, that is a normal condition. The door is slightly concave to make it pull in and not have any leaks or rattles. The dealer can adjust the lock so the deadbolt slides free.
