A modification of Tom's fix might be to locate the scuffed places and file carefully as Tom instructed.  Instead of painting and waiting until the paint dries apply carbon black like that used to inlet a barrel in a rifle stock.  Close the door and see where the carbon has been rubbed off and repeat if necessary.  Might save a little time before the final repaint.

A little tuning with a dead blow hammer helped mine a bit.

I do see your situation is excessive, and may require removal of the door and some rework.

Your coach likely hit the road in 91. I know some things have moved around a bit on me in the last 30 years. :-(

Mine was worse than yours.Dead blow hammer and a little anger helped.

Easy enough fix. Mine was dead tight to the point of overlap (The door and the trim piece that runs alongside door frame.  Cut a 2x4 about 1 inch wider then door frame and wedged it between the frame and bumped it with only hand pressure. That moved the trim back 1/8 of an inch. Drilled hole and rivited in that position, moved board and repeated till it had several secure points. I'll put a little touch up paint on the rivits and good as new.
