Screen door.

It's likely that your door was made by Lippert. Here's a link to their store with 2 pages of parts for their entry doors: https://store.lci1.com/shop-by-depa...y-screen-doors.html?p=1&product_list_limit=30
John, I didn't phrase the question correctly. Mine does latch to the outer door, but the screen door only opens half-way when unlatched from the outer door. It is limited as to how far it opens unless the hydraulic cylinder at its base is disconnected, which is what we do now. Is that the only way for the screen door to open fully?

Before disconnecting the door's hydraulic cylinder, take a look to see if opening it would interfere with awnings or other things. That may be why it's the way it is.

Ah so! Didn’t know it had a hydraulic cylinder on it. My old rig ain’t that fancy
What you might do is replace the fastener at one end with a pin so you could easily take the cylinder out of play when you need to open the door wider and connect it to the outer door.

Looking at a photo of a 2018 North Trail 24 BHS there is a good chance that if the door is fully open back that the awning will interfere with the door. The issue will most likely be near the upper corner of the awning where the power roller portion comes back to the wall when retracted.
The 2nd possibility is it could be very close and that the latch would be able to scrape the awning arm.
I did not measure this just eyeballed.
I know its an issue on my north trail.
The next time I am at the trailer I will look at whether opening the outer door and the attached screen door completely would interfere with the awning or some other component. If not, can the outer door be modified with a latch added to the side of the trailer to hold them open completely instead of only open "half-way."
So long as the door doesn't interfere with anything you should be able to remove the hydraulic cylinder and put a latch like this on the back of the door.
