Sliding counter / drawers 2017 29MV GH

Mine will sometimes slide open on a right turn. I figure I need to add extra holding power. This is the kind where the cabinet is supported by about (4) sets of drawer sliders (seems like it is going to be fun to remove).

What latch has been found to work best for this situation?

Update: Interesting that no-one else has had this issue. It was not so much turning too quickly, but when the MotorHome rocked sided to side that the drawers would slide open.

Here is what I did to fix:
No need to remove the drawer / counter assembly to do this.
From the cabinet next to the drawer set, I drilled a 13/32" hole through the wall faces and the side of the cabinet. Just at the level of one of the drawer slides.
Open the assembly, and open the hole to 1/2".
Mount a furniture leg plate https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...0?ie=UTF8&th=1

Now, when traveling, screw in a 10mm dia x 75mm screw from the cabinet into the assembly.

Note: I did have some binding, so I opened the main hole to 7/16".

See attached pics for details.
