I've already added the easy screen door opener that has been shown several times in the forum, but after all these years, finally got tired of the screen door taking off when opened. Open the door and the wind would catch it or just the momentum, then it clicks on to the outside door. With your hands tied up and two cats and a dog trying to get out, this was enough. I positioned two of the stick-on removable hooks along the top of the door-one on the door jamb and one on the screen itself, about 10 inches apart. Then using a small bungie, about 8 inches long, stretched this between the two hooks. It is tight enough to pull the door closed after entering and exiting, keeping hands free. I had looked at different springs closures and figured this was the least amount of work and leaves no mars or holes on the TT. Link below to a picture of the result.

I've always used one of these on at least my last 3 or 4 Jayco's. Works great! HERE I would think that your bungee closer would really slam that door shut...with a vengence!

Same here. I have them on our TT and have installed them on the in-laws TT's as well as my camping buddies TT.
As for the OP's bungee, nice idea but I would worry about the bungee slipping off the hook and smacking someone in the head/ face.

That's the mod I did. I laugh every time I go camping with friends and watch them battle with their screen door when either they slam it to get it to close, or it takes off in the wind and clicks and sticks to the main door.
