I'm sure you've moved way beyond this, but on my coach the second latch never engaged without some force because the door was curved in at the bottom, and the PO had installed foam insulation that resisted closing. Once I closed the door with resolve on a 2/4 stuck in the opening at the bottom and removed the foam it made it to the second latch.
I assume you've tried removing the striker plate and pin completely to see if the door itself will close as it should.
