Slaming the entrance door
I have adjusted my front entrance door so I don't have to slam the door. It is great.
Google. PTL door latch adjustment. I didn't have to do the first part moving the bolt.

Curious to see if you get any wind noise from loosening the bolt position. Mine is also hard to get both latched without slamming the door. Let us know....thanks

Is this the link? The iPad app may not have the globe with a chain link which allows you to insert links, this is what the PC app has:

Luv2go. Yes this is the link. As the article said I didn't do anything with the bolt assy. The adjustment was all I did, there was no wind noise. I only made one notch at a time I believe I only moved mine two clicks total.
I took the wood frame and grabrail off and the rest was fairly easy might take a picture of the assembly first but the little intention dot is what I went by
Good luck it's fairly simple

The hardest part is removing the interior wood trim. On mine, there is a screw hidden behind the cupholder. The cupholder is siliconed in place. I drilled very tiny holes in the wooden plugs and threaded a very small screw into the plug to have something to grip.

Wow I am hoping this adjustment fixes my door. I have cursed this door for the 3 1/2 years I have owned this coach. I complained to Newmar and the dealer a couple times and got no satisfaction. I have read through the procedure for the adjustment and removed the grab bars and started to remove the wood trim. Tomorrow I will get at the adjustment. THANKS
