Internal doors when underway

Do you close the internal doors (bathroom) when you travel?

I'm thinking that it would be a smart thing to do

Always have, always will. If they are closed they can't bang stuff.

Close them or if there is a latch to keep them open use that. You don't want anything free swinging around while you travel.

We always close and latch all doors. Have never had a problem.

Close, latch, secure....whatever they came with to keep them closed/open when traveling. A loose door on a rough road can do a lot of damage.

Yes.
I have a bungee cord holding the bathroom and bedroom doors closed, wrapped from door knob to door knob.

The only thing I dislike about my trailer (2920BH) is that you can't get into the bathroom with the slide in because the door won't open far enough. I dislike the idea of putting the slide in/out just for this reason.

Are there any way to secure a door open while traveling?

I use a magnetic door stop on one of my doors to hold it open. Works great and they're only about $6 at Home Depot.
