I have tried every adjustment I can see. If we close the door all the way (to second latch) I have to force the door open and I mean force. I thought we were stuck inside one time today. If you only clost it to the first detent it works perfectly. I greased it all up but still nothing. I can't see any place where anything is scraping.
Again, maybe CS can help tomorrow.

I will look but I know about the latch moving up and down. If its up the door bounces off the latch pawl.

We had the same issue. Luckily I it also happened in our previous coach so I looked to the screen door. I adjusted the block that holds the screen door handle until the screen door latch doesn't come out at all. Problem solved.

I tried to open the door this morning (49 degrees in Ruidoso) and it would not open. For some reason I pushed the screen door latch and the door opened very easily! So I found it at 5:30 this morning by accident but thanks for the heads up. This is a very easy adjustment. I never considered the screen door latch because the door was so hard to open (the DW could not do it) and because it sounded like metal when I finally would get it pushed open. This door is the easiest to open and close of any coach I have owned (six coaches).
