The door gap is quite common, but, usually, because people make the mistake of setting the unit up with the door open.
As June says; make sure the canvas is fitted, correctly, round the bed pods, push the poles up to the first notch, close the door, then attach all the velcro and under bed bungees with the door shut, then go inside, close the door behind you and push the poles up, but only as far as they can comfortably go, with the door shut. It's a common misconception that the poles need to be on the last notch. They don't.
The only other thing to be aware of is that you are thinking about it the wrong way around. Canvases shrink when they are dry, and expand when whet, when they take on water. We normally recommend that you set your camper up, with the canvas as taut as it will go, then giving it a couple of good soakings to expand it. You should, then, be able to push the poles up at least one more notch. allowing it to dry in this position helps to stretch the canvas back out, again.

The one good thing about being wrong is the joy it brings to others..
