I recently had occasion to loan the Bighorn to my son's family for a church campout. During our checkout of the Bighorn together we were horrified to see how easy it was for the kids (aged 1 1/2 and 3) to open the latched screen door and possibly tumble down the steps. I was asked to come up with a fix for this before they took the Bighorn out the next week. After considering several ideas including simply moving the outside door assist handle into the detented forward (travel) position over the closed screen door, I came up with the simple idea of adding a childproof, spring-latched, hook and loop door latch. I am attaching 3 photos of the install. Sorry about the poor focus on some of the pics.
