entrance door hold open latch?

I have a new to us 2009 Monaco Camelot 42PDQ and the door does not stay in the open position. Wind will blow it closed. I thought it was supposed to stay open till you pulled it or pulled the latch like the previous coach we owned. Any help? Thanks

  • Thanks Dalenoel, when I get it back to my shop next month I will remove the scissor bar at the top and see if I can tighten the pin that looks to be worn and lets that bar move off the detent.

  • Many of us have problems with the scissor closer on the top of the door. Mine will open and then stay open and not allow a slight pull get is closed. Need to start it by hand and am too cheap to put new unit on top. There is an indent in the scissor unit that should hold it but often times does not.
