Thanks for this thread -- I removed the wimpy deadbolt in our camper today. I noticed the assembly was loose on the door too. Rattling down washboard can loosen teeth, let alone screws. Good to walk around with a screwdriver from time to time.

We had the opposite problem. We locked the camper overnight using the red door latch, and then couldn't open it to get out! Eventually got it open, and now we ignore the red door latch and only use the deadbolt and key.

We removed the red toggle door latch some time ago on our '16 Hawk....there is a thread on this removal somewhere..
