Head Banger Door - aka. Door of Death

In practice I agree that those of us who have this deadly door just need to develop the habit of closing it. However, the "Door of Death" has tagged my wife real good a couple times. The learning curve can be painful. I know by talking with others who have this feature, and also reading other threads, that this is a common problem with this particular door.

For me the solution was to install a couple small eye screws and a small bungee to gently pull the door shut. The nature and location of that door in the process of setting up the trailer makes it very easy to forget, leaving it standing open as a death trap for the next person going up the steps while typically looking down at the steps.

Anyway, it's a common problem but there's a simple solution.
