Have you tried pressing in on the door when you are trying to lock it? Ours needs to be pressed in in order for the lock to catch.
If your coach has the "Keyed-Alike" lock feature, your coach is already harder to get into than your Neighbor's coach.
If you want to make this hold even more secure, there is an RV lock that uses a round key that is designed to replace the RV style lock on that front hold.

I did that and it returned a bunch of Amazon product links and some random RV lock blogs.
What I did find was a semi-decent review on Industrial Lock & Hardware's offering of different types of cam locks. I think I'll order some.

Awesome!
I think I have slam latches on all but my generator door. I *think* it has 2 nonlocking cam latches and one locking one (that doesn't work for crap). I'm thinking I'll just remove the center locking one, and replace the two outboard unlocking latches with (hopefully) keyed alike "ace" locking cam latches.
I'll post up before & after pictures.signature

I went over to my coach to see why the generator door wasn't locking. I was a little surprised at what I found.
Basically, I think the generator door opening was cut just uneven enough such that it fits tight on the two ends, but there's a gap where the cam lock goes. There's enough of a gap just in the middle with the door closed that the tab on the cam lock doesn't reach the door frame.
The lock itself seems to be decent quality, so I went to Ace hardware and got a little bit longer cam lock tab. I'll try it out tomorrow if the weather permits.

Full disclosure - I had to buy the whole lock kit for $10 to get the longer tabs.

Buying my first RV this month. Up until now, we've been tent and enclosed trailer camping.
I've always had security concerns because of the M/C and expensive equipment in the trailer. All of those latches are just to keep "the honest - honest". In addition to them, I wired a basic car alarm to the side and back doors. Not perfect, but feel a little more confident. As another note, I chain my generator to the frame and run a small wire loop to the alarm.

Check out RVLocksandMore - they should be able to provide barrel locks that match your RV key. On the belly door of my Reflection (will do the same when we get our Momentum), I replaced the two outter thumb screws with locks that match my main door... and then put one of the thumb screws I took out into the center position.
