Pockett door off track stuck in wall
Sorry as this maybe too long.
Just stated a 5-to-6-week trip. Second night stop the bathroom pocket door cam of the track and was back in the wall. A rv tech was able to get it out and swap the roller around as one of the rollers had a wheel off.
Drive the next day and next stop same thing, off the track and really stuck in wall. We believe the door is bowed/wrapped and that is why its hard to get out of wall, as well as tilted down at the end of the track but one roller handing on so bottom of door is tiled up off the floor.
I send my vin number etc all to another rv tech guy to order roller and meet him in two weeks at the next stop. Found out today he cannot get the order in time.
So I need some options. These are a few I'm thinking
The door itself is a $155.00 item and roller are like 5.99 each.
The opening of the door way is 27". I am told the pocket door is 30" wide.
The frid door is stick out 2 1/2" cutting the opening to around 25 1/2" . not enough room to tile door out away from bathroom without removing the fright. I can take off the bracket on the top of the frig and remove the top door and remove the bottom door, but the bottom bracket is attached underneath the fride and not on the front like the top door. So frid would have to come out enough to remove that door support. Do not want to remove my 12 volt fridg.
the rv tech upfront is $80.00 service call and $120 per hour.
I'm thing if I can get a steel rod with a 90 degree bend I might be able to tilt the door at the back and get it out of the wall enough to just cut 6" off the door. if door is bad, which I think it is, then doing this I save $200.00. Then I would just worry about it when we get back home.
I just feel the door need to be out while traveling as it is up against our shower drain pipe coming through the wall. We have a shower leak ever once in a while and the water appears right at the pocket door. Might be able to find the leak if the door is out of the wall.
Sorry for so long. Thank you to anyone who will respond.
