Rear Entry Door Opening

[C130TN]

We've had the rear entry door open a couple of times while traveling and stopping in the last couple of weeks. We started locking it to avoid it happening again. Anyone else had this issue? I adjusted the strike plate yesterday so hoping that will take care of it. It would latch before and I made sure it was shut after it happened the first time but it came open again. I guess it's flexing a little allowing it to come unlatched.

I installed another grab bar by the back door. Fold it over the door when traveling

Did you do it yourself or have it done by the dealer? Anything special about installing it? We met a couple at the Grand Designs rally last June at Anchor Down that had installed one also. Can't believe it's not standard but I think it's a great idea to just add it so the door won't come open like it has twice now.

I did it. Not very complicated! I used dry wall anchors and rev cement to attach it

I agree, it would be a nice addition to an already great rig

I added one to my back door. Got same lag type screws as front one and they hit metal framing in the wall. Same spacing as the front.

My Raptor used to open the doors while driving also. I learned that the shifting would push the latch in a little at a time and since the door was tight, the latch wouldn't spring back out. I ended up locking the bolt every time I move the camper and didn't have the problem anymore. So far, no problems with my 328M.

If I am not careful to latch the door, then yes. I put the folding grab bar on, also, no problems since......

It was latched,I pulled on the door and it wouldn't budge at all before departing both times. But, when towing something is flexing a little I guess. I may add the grab bar but in the meantime I'll just lock it also. I did adjust the strike plate so that might fix the issue.
