Well, bummers. For a short term fix, since you are going camping soon, I would do something like sacrifice an old dust broom, cut off some bristles and lay down the top section on some (white?) duct tape. Then cover the top section of bristles with a smaller piece of duct tape. Then trim the bristle bottoms to make a straight edge. Then temporarily tape that to the inside door where the hole is to cover up the hole. ...very temporary.
As for a long term fix, when you get back from your trip, I would be inclined to call Lippert back and dialog with them some more, and speak to a manager or (send an email with pics) and assert that your gap is considerably larger than (my/your friend's) gap. You can see a small gap in my door but when closed, the gap is barely noticeable. Requesting a replacement sweeping broom seems like a reasonable request...but then again, I've never had to deal with Lippert, so good luck!
If you don't want to deal with Lippert, another DIY long term fix might be to get something like this
