After watching the video above, I went to my RV to take a look at the door latch. What I realized is that my slider bolt is NOT broken (as in the video) and therefore I didn't need a new slider bolt. The issue is that the bolt just doesn't stop extending where it should (it goes about 1/8th of an inch too far extended) and therefore when it hits the door jam it is not on the slanted part of the bolt and therefore it doesn't compress.
So I had an idea to glue in a tiny piece of metal on the bolt (in the yellow circle on the top rail) in the photo here:
After giving it plenty of time to dry I tried it out. The opening mechanism/arm immediately popped my little piece of metal out and therefore the solution didn't work. Out of a bit of annoyance/frustration, I decided to try putting a ziptie around it as someone above had mentioned. I wasn't happy with the idea is it isn't very elegant (and I don't know how long it would last for), but I tried it anyway. It does in fact hold back the bolt from extending too far.
Honestly, I was surprised I was even able to get the lock plate screwed back together and in place as I thought the large part of the ziptie would get in the way. But I was able to. And I know that if this doesn't work (or breaks), I can always remove it later. Low and behold, it works! (for now at least). I'll try this out for a few months and see if there are any issues.
Reminder: One of the reasons I'm willing to "play around" with such a solution is because my latch bolt is NOT broken and the door does allow itself to open and close even without this bandaid fix. There has never been an issue of not being able to open the door, fear of getting stuck inside/outside, etc.
If there are any updates in the future I'll let you know!
