Magnetic door catch

We bought a new Swift Challenger Sport last spring and have found that the exterior door slams shut if there is a slight breeze. The dealer has replaced the catch but the same thing is happening. We consider this to be very dangerous, particularly if children
are entering or leaving the caravan. Has anyone else noticed this problem and, if so, did you find a satisfactory solution?

    We have a motorhome and this has been an issue with our habitation door.  We bought a bigger version of a ball and holder catch,  but if the wind gusts or is strong it still happens.  I agree its extremely dangerous and could cause a serve injury.  For this
    reason if it is a breezy day and we want the door open we use really attractive string to tie the door handle to the wheel trims. Once there was a gust that snapped the string . I too will be interested to see if others have found a cure.
