Has anyone found a solution for bouncing adjustable shelves? I have a small one for spices, and the shelves bounce so bad on the road that they come off their shelf clips. Also, we have one drawer that won't stay shut... is it easy to find a replacement latch?

I have used self stick velcro on the bottom of the shelves and it works really well. Simple to do.

Sounds like self-stick velcro is the answer to both of your questions!!! We have put self-stick velcro along each side of a couple of drawers (on vertical outside edges of drawer face where it contacts the cabinet) that tended to come open while underway. It works great!!
It is also possible to get latches from a dealer (we ordered several from Lichtsinn Motors in Forest City, and found there are two with different "pull" strengths). We had a dealer add a second latch on a large pan drawer as an under-warranty solution when that drawer repeatedly came open while driving. They moved the original latch from the center to one side, then added a second latch on the other side. But for me, velcro is easier to add!!

Or you can use a little dab of rubber cement on the little plastic mounts. It will hold the shelf in place and come right off with a little tug, the rubber cement residue can be easily rubbed off should you need to remove it. Much easier than trying to cut little velcor pieces to fit the tabs.
Best Regards!

Or a little dab of clear silicone caulk.

Modeling clay should work well also. We use it to secure smaller items to the countertops. It cleans off easily also.

Another choice is what I call here in California "earthquake putty". I bought THIS from the Do-It Hardware store.
Another way to fix the problem is install Koni FSD shocks. This is not cheap fix ($136 ea on-line) but our rig rides sooooo smooth that you just don't get the bounce and a fraction of the vibration any more. I expect that over the long run the shocks will pay for themselves in less stress & breakdown on everything in your coach.
Happy Trails,
Duner
