Probably one of the springs or pins inside the door latch broke.
Are you going to be able to latch it and get the RV home or to a repair facility?
I had to change my door lock several years ago (the key can not be changed, so I had to replace the lock) and was able to remove the whole lock assembly, and replace the whole thing. I think the cost was around $250 - $300. The RV supply store had special ordered this lock, and the customer did not pick it up. So they had one in stock, and for a discount, because the first customer lost his deposit on the deal. .. .
You might be able to take it to a locksmith, if it is not to messed up, and have it repaired. Yet many locksmiths are not familiar with the typical RV lock, and might not be able to help out. . .
Good luck,
Fred.
