I have used a slight amount of clear teflon trailer ball lubricant on my door strike and latch pictured. Works very easy for a long time. I don't just wing/slam the door shut, most times, just push it shut, often times using the pull handle when doing so. RV doors aren't built like a truck door.

I agree with this. When shutting a door, I pull the handle as if to unlatch it and push/pull it closed and then give it a firm push/pull until I hear the click of the striker. Slamming these doors will shorten the life of the door and latch dramatically. Also use a good spray lube down inside at the striker.
Get some GOOD LED bulbs to replace those 1141's. I recommend lamps from M4Products.com as they have consistent color and are a long lasting lamp. They are expensive but you won't be having individual LED elements burning out and the color will be consistent if you buy other styles of lights for various fixtures in the RV. I prefer Daylight but they have Warm White (yellowish) and cool white (bluish). They give discounts of 10% off for ten or more.
