We also have a 28' and that closet door opened about 50% of the time. We solved the problem with velcro on the top and bottom. Only opened once since then (we forgot to engage the velcro ).

Do you find the two adjacent bedside closets enough space for clothes? The 28 seems like a versatile floor plan with a great living/dining area but there is no pantry. Your solution solves that problem but does it at the expense of reduce clothing storage. I wonder if there is a way to split it with the upper half to hang shirts yet still some space left to have slide out shelves for a half pantry?

We have found that the bedside closets and the underbed storage is more than enough room for clothes. We use the shelves we installed ala BAB for food and other stuff like our coffee maker.

This being our first long trip had made us desire more kitchen storage, the coat closet is nice but not essential. This will be my new project, great idea thank you all.
To stop door from opening would one of those spring loaded robs be useful while in transit?

If the doors stand out away from the walls, you can put a slide bolt on either the very top or very bottom, and slide the bolt across between the doors to keep them from opening. That way, when you finally sell it or trade it, you simply remove the bolt lock and don't have to worry about unsightly holes where everybody can see them.
