    Question Main Door won't stay latched. HELP!?

    Has anyone had this problem? We close and lock the door, make sure it won't open. Leave it for a few days, come back and the door is unlatched. It also unlatches when we travel with the unit.

    This is a new to us 2019 Solitude 310GK. Any help is appreciated!

    Looks like this is your first post, welcome to the forum. Are both locks coming open? Which kind do you have? A picture of the latch would help.

    I had a Jayco TT that had the same issue. The latch and deadbolt would not catch all the way on the door frame. I had to drill out underneath the strike plate so the latch would catch.

    @Scottyboy is probably barking up the right tree. Sometimes the strike plates aren't aligned properly and the deadbolts don't really go into the hole. A Dremel tool is a good solution. (BTW - only use the deadbolt, not the handle latch. It's just there for dealers.)
