Interior door won't stay closed

Our bedroom door keeps popping open when we close it. We have to really pull it to close it and then it pops open. I don't want to have to drive it all the way to the dealer and am wondering if there is anything we can adjust to fix it ourselves.

Older 5th wheels with thin roofs
