slam latch oops !

Happened to me (sort of). Hauling my sister's shiny new unit home from getting stranded at a CG (TV met with a deer second night of camping). Traveling a stretch of road notorious for it's potholed and bumpy bend (been this way for a decade), all 3 "slam latch" compartment doors on the street side popped open! In the mirror I saw the cargo drawer sticking out of the one like a tongue poking fun at me! Fortunately, the manual crank handles for the slides and stabilizers didn't jump out of that drawer, and they really hadn't moved into it otherwise yet! Upon inspection, I noted that the latches barely had 3/32" of catch because the baggage doors were quite small in their frames. Apprised my sister of this and it was addressed during a return for warranty work. The dealer claimed that the manufacturer of the baggage doors changed hinge supplier, and the new hinges were thinner so the gap along the bottom edge widened. All 6 of the baggage doors were changed out, which required graphics to be done too, and I noticed not only do the new doors have a tighter gap, but there's actually a fabricated catch plate now for the slam latch's latch.

Come to think if it, that bend is where I decided that the first mod of every travel trailer I will ever own with folding steps will be a restraining strap on those step to keep them folded! With my first TT, my steps bounced FULLY open (3-step set) and there is no shoulder, just 18" from the white line to the guide rail... Got lucky!
