Closet doors

I've been looking at some different haulers at shows and really like the Road Warrior by Heartland.
My one concern is that for the 14 model year they have went to hinged doors on the bedroom closet making it hard to get into the closet with the bed and door in the way.
My question is has anyone ever replaced the hinged doors with sliding doors in an RV? I am mech inclined but when trying to match trim and such makes it a lot tougher.
Not really sure why they switched from sliders to hinged on all their product lines but to me it makes it harder for access.

    We just picked up a new 305RW and are looking forward to camping this spring.
    You have me interested as is tight to open these in the bedroom. .
    So far, we are very happy with everything and it seems to be a quality unit.


    I'm not sure why they made the change in the 2014 model year...maybe hinged doors are cheaper but in that application they sure aren't practical!
    A walk-in closet or a sliding or by-pass doors are what they need to use because of it being so tight in the front...king bed is even worse which is I believe what was in the 425 we looked at.

  • Did you mean a track door; the kind that join in the middle of the opening and fold to the side?
