Fridge door

Has anyone had the problem with the fridge door coming open during travel. We are towing a new 2017 Jayco Swan.

Been quiet on the GN site for a while, but I'm prompted to post by a selfish road-hogging RV 'brother'. Was a reasonably large van towed by a Landy, an out-of-stater obviously on tour and feeling cruisey, but there is really no excuse. Courtesy shouldn't be left at the front gate. I guess we joined...
