Doesn't the door also have a button latch? In addition to the cheap fastener that also broke on mine, my door also had a latch on the front of the door that you could snap a button to keep it secure while traveling.
I looked for a picture of my door, but none of my pictures show the snap. All mine came with is a piece of fabric about 4" long with the female half of a snap on it, that is screwed to the wall. The sliding door has the male half of the snap screwed into the door. The male half is what was/is pulled out from the hollow core door (who in their right mind thought this would hold???) Is it possible for you to take a picture of your latches for me? My camper is covered up in winter storage. The 840 in the pictures on the link posted above show a completely different system than I have.
I too had the snap pull out of my slider on my Arctic Fox 996 Bathroom door. I used a pocket door latch in place of the fabric snap setup which allows the occupant to lock it from the inside. The install also covers up the wollered out hole that the pulled out screw left in the door, cleaning up the looks too. A quarter works nicely to lock/unlock the door from the outside, with a turn lock provided on the inside. I put a piece of Velcro on a quarter and stow it under the counter sink near the door so one has a way to get into the bathroom, quickly if needed.
