There have been a few reports on new Key Largos of people damaging their ODS cargo doors when closing the bedroom slide. When the cargo door is fully open, it contacts the bottom edge of the slideout. If you forget, and pull the bedroom slide in, the door and latch get torn up.
At our South Texas rally today I looked at a 2013 Rushmore with the same arrangement.
If the Rushmore is representative of the Key Largo problem, I think I have a simple and inexpensive solution.
These bumper guards go on the corners of the slideout to protect your head. The one on the rear corner also keeps the cargo door just far enough away from the slideout that it should prevent accidental damage. You can probably also find these guards at many RV dealerships.
I've posted a picture that shows the clearance from the door latch when the guard is in place.
