Charles is right -- you have to treat those latches carefully. They are not like doors in your stick house -- especially the plastic piece attached to the screen door.
If you slam the door, that piece can break. Don't ask how I know this.
So you have to re-train yourself and your family to first attach the screen door to the main door. Then pull on the main door latch to close the door manually.
Yes, this is a hassle. And putting a little sign on the door ("don't slam") helps, but it is not guaranteed to stop the habitual slammer (i.e., me).
Yep, this is exactly what we do.
As a friend told me decades ago, this is a camper, not a house - everything is very lightweight and needs to be treated that way.
